Is not then the promise of Allah true? Yet most of them do not know. He gives life and
causes death, and to Him you will return.
7:179 We have created many of the jinn and men for Hell. They have hearts with which they
cannot understand, eyes with which they cannot see, and ears with which they cannot hear.
They are like cattle—no,
even worse, for they are neglectful.
7:180 The most beautiful names belong to Allah. So call Him by them, and avoid those who
use His name profanely for they will suffer for what they do.
7:181 Among those whom We have created are a people who guide others with truth and do
justice. As for those who reject Our signs as lies, We draw them to destruction in ways they
will not see. They have been granted a delay, but My scheme is certain. Have they not
considered that their companion [Mohammed] is not mad? He is only a plain warner. Have
they not considered the kingdoms of heaven and of the earth and all the things that Allah
created? Do they not see that their own term may be drawing near? What message will they
believe after this? If you are rejected from the guidance of Allah, you will have no other
guide. He leaves them to wander blindly in distraction.
7:187 They will ask you [Mohammed] about the fixed time of the final Hour. Say: That
knowledge is only with my Lord. He alone will reveal it at its proper time. It weighs heavily
on jinns and men. It will suddenly come to you. Say: The knowledge of it is only with Allah.
Most men do not know.
7:188 Say: I have no power over any good or harm to myself except as Allah wills. If I had
knowledge of his secrets, I would multiply the good, and evil would not touch me. I am only
a warner, a bearer of glad tidings to those who believe.
6:1 Praise be to Allah, Who created heaven and earth, as well as darkness and light. Yet the
unbelievers have other gods.
6:2 He created you from clay and decreed the term of your life, and He has a set time for the
Resurrection, and still you have doubts. And He is Allah in the heavens and on the earth. He
knows your secrets and what you reveal, and He knows what you have earned through
deeds.
6:4 And never did Allah reveal a single sign to them, but they [the Meccans] turned away
from it. And now they reject the truth when they hear it, but soon they will learn about the
truth that they once mocked. Do they not see how many generations We have destroyed
before them? We had made them more powerful than you [the Meccans]. We sent rains in
abundance and gave fertile rivers to flow beneath their feet, yet We destroyed them because
of their sins and raised another generation. And if We had sent a Message down to you
[Mohammed] on parchment so they could have touched it with their hands, the unbelievers
would have said, “This is only magic.”
