Chapter 37, Page 452, Juz 23

167. They used to say before: 168. “If only we had the Reminder which had been granted to the people of yore 169. we would surely have been Allah's chosen servants.” 170. But when it came to them, they rejected it. They shall soon come to know (the end of such an attitude). 171. We have already given Our promise to Our Messengers 172. that they shall certainly be succoured, 173. and that Our hosts shall triumph. 174. So, (O Prophet), leave them alone for a while, 175. and see, and soon they too shall see. 176. Do they seek to hasten Our chastisement? 177. When that chastisement will descend upon their courtyard, evil shall that Day be for those who had been warned. 178. Leave them alone for a while, 179. and see; and they too shall soon see. 180. Exalted be your Lord, the Lord of Glory, above what they attribute to Him, 181. and peace be upon the Messengers, 182. and all praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Universe.
