Say, “Whoever stays straying, let his term be extended by the All-Merciful (Allah) still longer, until when they will see what they are being warned of: either the punishment or the Hour (of Doom), then they will know who was worse in his place and weaker in his forces.

Chapter 19, Page 310, Juz 16

66. Man says, “Is it that, once I die, I shall be brought forth alive?” 67. Does not the man remember that We created him before, when he was nothing? 68. So, by your Lord, We will definitely gather them together, and the devils as well; then We will definitely make them present around the Jahannam , fallen on their knees. 69. Then, out of every group, We will certainly draw out those who were more rebellious against the All-Merciful (Allah). 70. Then of course, We are most aware of those who are more deserving to enter it (the Jahannam ). 71. There is none among you who does not have to arrive at it. This is undertaken by your Lord as an absolute decree, bound to be enforced. 72. Then We will save those who feared Allah, and will leave the wrongdoers in it, fallen on their knees. 73. When Our verses are recited to them in all their clarity, the disbelievers say to the believers, “Which of the two groups is superior in its place and better in its assembly?” 74. How many a generation We have destroyed before them who were better in assets and outlook! 75. Say, “Whoever stays straying, let his term be extended by the All-Merciful (Allah) still longer, until when they will see what they are being warned of: either the punishment or the Hour (of Doom), then they will know who was worse in his place and weaker in his forces. 76. Allah makes those on the right path excel in guidance. And the everlasting virtues are better with your Lord in respect of reward and better in their return. 77. Have you, then, seen him who rejected Our verses and said, “I shall certainly be given wealth and children”? 78. Has he peeped into the Unseen or taken a covenant with the All-Merciful (Allah)? 79. Never! We will write what he says and extend for him the punishment extensively. 80. And We will inherit from him what he is talking about, and he will come to Us all alone. 81. They have taken gods other than Allah, so that they may be a source of might for them. 82. Never! They (their fabricated deities) will soon reject their having worshipped them, and they will be just the opposite for them.
