67. And those who disbelieve say, "When we have become dust as well as our forefathers, will we indeed be brought out [of the graves]? 68. We have been promised this, we and our forefathers, before. This is not but legends of the former peoples." 69. Say, [O Muḥammad], "Proceed [i.e., travel] through the land and observe how was the end of the criminals." 70. And grieve not over them or be in distress from what they conspire. 71. And they say, "When is [the fulfillment of] this promise, if you should be truthful?" 72. Say, "Perhaps it is close behind you [i.e., very near] - some of that for which you are impatient. 73. And indeed, your Lord is the possessor of bounty for the people, but most of them are not grateful." 74. And indeed, your Lord knows what their breasts conceal and what they declare. 75. And there is nothing concealed within the heaven and the earth except that it is in a clear Register. 76. Indeed, this Qur’ān relates to the Children of Israel most of that over which they disagree. 77. And indeed, it is guidance and mercy for the believers. 78. Indeed, your Lord will judge between them by His [wise] judgement. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Knowing. 79. So rely upon Allāh; indeed, you are upon the clear truth. 80. Indeed, you will not make the dead hear, nor will you make the deaf hear the call when they have turned their backs retreating. 81. And you cannot guide the blind away from their error. You will only make hear those who believe in Our verses so they are Muslims [i.e., submitting to Allāh]. 82. And when the word [i.e., decree] befalls them, We will bring forth for them a creature from the earth speaking to them, [saying] that the people were, of Our verses, not certain [in faith].
