Hast thou not regarded those who dispute concerning the signs of God, how they are turned about? 69 Those who deny the Scripture and that wherewith We send Our messengers. But they will come to know, 70 When the fetters and chains are round their necks they shall be dragged 71 Into the boiling water; then into the Fire they will be stocked. 72 Then it will be said to them, "Where is that which you used to associate [with Him in worship] 73 Other than Allah?" They will say, "They have departed from us; rather, we did not used to invoke previously anything." Thus does Allah put astray the disbelievers. 74 That is because you exulted in the land unjustly and because you behaved insolently. 75 Enter [now] the gates of hell, therein to abide: and how vile an abode for all who are given to false pride!" 76 So be patient, (O Prophet). Surely Allah's promise is true. Whether We show them a part of the woeful consequences against which We warn them (while you are still in their midst) or We recall you (from this world) before that, eventually it is to Us that they shall be brought back. 77 We did aforetime send messengers before thee: of them there are some whose story We have related to thee, and some whose story We have not related to thee. It was not (possible) for any messenger to bring a sign except by the leave of Allah: but when the Command of Allah issued, the matter was decided in truth and justice, and there perished, there and then those who stood on Falsehoods. 78
