Indeed, it was promised to us and to our fathers even before this. This is nothing but the tales of the ancients.” 69. Say, “Travel in the land and see how was the fate of the sinners.” 70.

Say, “It is not unlikely that some part of that (punishment) which you are asking to come soon is already following you closely.” 73.

Surely this Qur’ān mentions to the children of Isrā’īl most of the matters in which they dispute. 77. It is guidance and mercy for the believers. 78.

You can make no one to listen (to you) except those who believe in Our verses, then submit themselves (to Allah). 82.
