Sura 17, Ukurasa 287, Juzuu 15

45. And when you recite the Qur’ān, We put between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter a concealed partition. 46. And We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And when you mention your Lord alone in the Qur’ān, they turn back in aversion. 47. We are most knowing of how they listen to it when they listen to you and [of] when they are in private conversation, when the wrongdoers say, "You follow not but a man affected by magic." 48. Look how they strike for you comparisons; but they have strayed, so they cannot [find] a way. 49. And they say, "When we are bones and crumbled particles, will we [truly] be resurrected as a new creation?" 50. Say, "Be you stones or iron 51. Or [any] creation of that which is great within your breasts." And they will say, "Who will restore us?" Say, "He who brought you forth the first time." Then they will nod their heads toward you and say, "When is that?" Say, "Perhaps it will be soon - 52. On the Day He will call you and you will respond with praise of Him and think that you had not remained [in the world] except for a little."
