Do you not see how those who dispute God's signs, are turned away from the right path -- 69 Those who belie the Book and that message wherewith We sent Our apostles, presently they shall come to know. 70 when fetters will be placed around their necks and chains will drag them 71 into the boiling water and then are thrown into the Fire, 72 It will then be said to them, “Where are the partners you used to appoint?” – 73 "In derogation of Allah?" They will reply: "They have left us in the lurch: Nay, we invoked not, of old, anything (that had real existence)." Thus does Allah leave the Unbelievers to stray. 74 'That is because you rejoiced in the earth without right, and were exultant. 75 Enter the gates of Gehenna and live there for ever. Evil is the lodging of the proud. 76 So persevere in patience; for the Promise of Allah is true: and whether We show thee (in this life) some part of what We promise them,- or We take thy soul (to Our Mercy) (before that),-(in any case) it is to Us that they shall (all) return. 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
