Read in Context

Chapter 23, Page 344, Juz 18

33. And the eminent among his people who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter while We had given them luxury in the worldly life said, "This is not but a man like yourselves. He eats of that from which you eat and drinks of what you drink. 34. And if you should obey a man like yourselves, indeed, you would then be losers. 35. Does he promise you that when you have died and become dust and bones that you will be brought forth [once more]? 36. How far, how far, is that which you are promised. 37. It [i.e., life] is not but our worldly life - we die and live, but we will not be resurrected. 38. He is not but a man who has invented a lie about Allāh, and we will not believe him." 39. He said, "My Lord, support me because they have denied me." 40. [Allāh] said, "After a little, they will surely become regretful." 41. So the shriek seized them in truth, and We made them as [plant] stubble. Then away with the wrongdoing people. 42. Then We produced after them other generations. 43. No nation will precede its time [of termination], nor will they remain [thereafter]. 44. Then We sent Our messengers in succession. Every time there came to a nation its messenger, they denied him, so We made them follow one another [to destruction], and We made them narrations. So away with a people who do not believe.
