[40:67]

He it is Who created you from dust, then from a drop (of seed) then from a clot, then bringeth you forth as a child, then (ordaineth) that ye attain full strength and afterward that ye become old men - though some among you die before - and that ye reach an appointed term, that haply ye may understand.

[40:68]

He it is Who quickeneth and giveth death. When He ordaineth a thing, He saith unto it only: Be! and it is.

[40:69]

Hast thou not seen those who wrangle concerning the revelations of Allah, how they are turned away ? -

[40:70]

Those who deny the Scripture and that wherewith We send Our messengers. But they will come to know,

[40:71]

When carcans are about their necks and chains. They are dragged

[40:72]

Through boiling waters; then they are thrust into the Fire.

[40:73]

Then it is said unto them: Where are (all) that ye used to make partners (in the Sovereignty)

[40:74]

Beside Allah ? They say: They have failed us; but we used not to pray to anything before. Thus doth Allah send astray the disbelievers (in His guidance).

[40:75]

(And it is said unto them): This is because ye exulted in the earth without right, and because ye were petulant.

[40:76]

Enter ye the gates of hell, to dwell therein. Evil is the habitation of the scornful.

[40:77]

Then have patience (O Muhammad). Lo! the promise of Allah is true. And whether we let thee see a part of that which We promise them, or (whether) We cause thee to die, still unto Us they will be brought back.
