Chapter 17, Page 286, Juz 15

45. When you recite the Qur’ān, We place an invisible curtain between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter, 46. and We put covers on their hearts barring them from understanding it, and (We put) deafness in their ears; and when you refer to your Lord alone (without referring to their presumed deities,) in the Qur’ān, they turn their backs in aversion. 47. We are fully aware of the reason for which they listen, when they listen to you, and when they are in secret consultation: when the transgressors say, “You are following none but a bewitched man.” 48. See how they have made (silly) statements about you; so they have gone astray and cannot find a way. 49. And they say, “Once we are reduced to bones and dust, is it then that we will be raised, created anew?” 50. Say, “Be you stones or iron 51. or any creation you deem harder in your hearts.” Thereupon they will ask, “Who will bring us back?” Say, “The One who created you for the first time.” So, they will shake their heads before you and say, “When shall that be?” Say, “May be, it is near.” 52. (It will be) on a day when He will call you, and you will respond praising Him, and you will think you did not stay (on the earth) but for a short while.
