And among them are those who listen to you. But can you make the deaf hear, even though they do not understand?
And among them are those who look at you. But can you guide the blind, even though they do not see?
Allah does not wrong the people in the least, but the people wrong their own selves.
On the Day when He rounds them up—as if they had tarried only one hour of a day—they will recognize one another. Those who denied the meeting with Allah will be the losers. They were not guided.
Whether We show you some of what We promise them, or take you, to Us is their return. Allah is witness to everything they do.
Every community has a messenger. When their messenger has come, judgment will be passed between them with fairness, and they will not be wronged.
And they say, "When will this promise be fulfilled, if you are truthful?"
Say, "I have no power to harm or benefit myself, except as Allah wills. To every nation is an appointed time. Then, when their time arrives, they can neither postpone it by one hour, nor advance it.
Say, "Have you considered? If His punishment overtakes you by night or by day, what part of it will the guilty seek to hasten?"
