They also said, "If only this Quran was sent down to a man of importance from the two cities."
Is it they who allocate the mercy of your Lord? It is We who have allocated their livelihood in this life, and We elevated some of them in rank above others, that some of them would take others in service. But your Lord's mercy is better than what they amass.
Were it not that humanity would become a single community, We would have provided those who disbelieve in the Most Gracious with roofs of silver to their houses, and stairways by which they ascend.
And doors to their houses, and furnishings on which they recline.
And decorations. Yet all that is nothing but the stuff of this life. Yet the Hereafter, with your Lord, is for the righteous.
Whoever shuns the remembrance of the Most Gracious, We assign for him a devil, to be his companion.
They hinder them from the path, though they think they are guided.
Until, when he comes to Us, he will say, "If only there were between me and you the distance of the two Easts." What an evil companion!
It will not benefit you on that Day, since you did wrong. You are partners in the suffering.
Can you make the deaf hear, or guide the blind, and him who is in evident error?
