If the truth conformed to their desires, the heavens, the earth, and everyone in them would have gone to ruin. In fact, We have given them their message, but they keep avoiding their message.
Or are you asking them for a payment? The revenue from your Lord is better, and He is the Best of providers.
You are inviting them to a straight path.
But those who do not believe in the Hereafter are swerving from the path.
Even if We had mercy on them, and relieved their problems, they would still blindly persist in their defiance.
We have already gripped them with suffering, but they did not surrender to their Lord, nor did they humble themselves.
Until, when We have opened before them a gate of intense agony, at once they will despair.
It is He who produced for you the hearing, and the eyesight, and the feelings. But little gratitude you show.
And it is He who multiplied you on earth, and to Him you will be gathered.
And it is He who gives life and brings death, and to Him is the alternation of night and day. Do you not understand?
