The Stubbornness of the Idolators; Their Punishment

Allah the Exalted reaffirms the stubbornness of the idolators and their ignorance of what goes around them,

Chapter 52, Page 525, Juz 27

29. Therefor warn (men, O Muhammad). By the grace of Allah thou art neither soothsayer nor madman. 30. Or say they: (he is) a poet, (one) for whom we may expect the accident of time? 31. Say (unto them): Except (your fill)! Lo! I am with you among the expectant. 32. Do their minds command them to do this, or are they an outrageous folk? 33. Or say they: He hath invented it? Nay, but they will not believe! 34. Then let them produce speech the like thereof, if they are truthful. 35. Or were they created out of naught? Or are they the creators? 36. Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, but they are sure of nothing! 37. Or do they own the treasures of thy Lord? Or have they been given charge (thereof)? 38. Or have they any stairway (unto heaven) by means of which they overhear (decrees). Then let their listener produce some warrant manifest! 39. Or hath He daughters whereas ye have sons? 40. Or askest thou (Muhammad) a fee from them so that they are plunged in debt? 41. Or possess they the Unseen so that they can write (it) down? 42. Or seek they to ensnare (the messenger)? But those who disbelieve, they are the ensnared! 43. Or have they any god beside Allah? Glorified be Allah from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him)! 44. And if they were to see a fragment of the heaven falling, they would say: A heap of clouds. 45. Then let them be (O Muhammad), till they meet their day, in which they will be thunder-stricken, 46. A day in which their guile will naught avail them, nor will they be helped. 47. And verily, for those who do wrong, there is a punishment beyond that. But most of them know not. 48. So wait patiently (O Muhammad) for thy Lord's decree, for surely thou art in Our sight; and hymn the praise of thy Lord when thou uprisest, 49. And in the night-time also hymn His praise, and at the setting of the stars.
