Chapter 23, Page 344, Juz 18

33. And the chiefs of his people, who disbelieved and denied the Meeting in the Hereafter, and on whom We had bestowed the good things of this life, said: "He is no more than a man like yourselves: he eats of that of which ye eat, and drinks of what ye drink. 34. "If ye obey a man like yourselves, behold, it is certain ye will be lost. 35. "Does he promise that when ye die and become dust and bones, ye shall be brought forth (again)? 36. "Far, very far is that which ye are promised! 37. "There is nothing but our life in this world! We shall die and we live! But we shall never be raised up again! 38. "He is only a man who invents a lie against Allah, but we are not the ones to believe in him!" 39. (The prophet) said: "O my Lord! help me: for that they accuse me of falsehood." 40. (Allah) said: "In but a little while, they are sure to be sorry!" 41. Then the Blast overtook them with justice, and We made them as rubbish of dead leaves (floating on the stream of Time)! So away with the people who do wrong! 42. Then We raised after them other generations. 43. No people can hasten their term, nor can they delay (it). 44. Then sent We our messengers in succession: every time there came to a people their messenger, they accused him of falsehood: so We made them follow each other (in punishment): We made them as a tale (that is told): So away with a people that will not believe!

- A. Yusuf Ali
