Read in Context

Chapter 21, Page 324, Juz 17

34. We have not granted immortality to any human before you ˹O Prophet˺: so if you die, will they live forever? 35. Every soul will taste death. And We test you ˹O humanity˺ with good and evil as a trial, then to Us you will ˹all˺ be returned. 36. When the disbelievers see you ˹O Prophet˺, they only make fun of you, ˹saying,˺ “Is this the one who speaks ˹ill˺ of your gods?” while they disbelieve at the mention of the Most Compassionate. 37. Humankind is made of haste. I will soon show you My signs, so do not ask Me to hasten them. 38. They ask ˹the believers˺, “When will this threat come to pass if what you say is true?” 39. If only the disbelievers knew that a time will come when they will not be able to keep the Fire off their faces or backs, nor will they be helped. 40. In fact, the Hour will take them by surprise, leaving them stunned. So they will not be able to avert it, nor will it be delayed from them. 41. ˹Other˺ messengers had already been ridiculed before you ˹O Prophet˺, but those who mocked them were overtaken by what they used to ridicule.
