Ghafir 40:78 ولقد ارسلنا رسلا من قبلك منهم من قصصنا عليك ومنهم من لم نقصص عليك وما كان لرسول ان ياتي باية الا باذن الله فاذا جاء امر الله قضي بالحق وخسر هنالك المبطلون ٧٨

We already sent messengers before you. We have told you the stories of some of them, while others We have not. It was not for any messenger to bring a sign without Allah’s permission. But when Allah’s decree comes, judgment will be passed with fairness, and the people of falsehood will then be in ˹total˺ loss.

Chapter 40, Page 476, Juz 24

69. Have you not seen how those who dispute Allah’s signs are turned away? 70. ˹They are˺ the ones who reject this Book and all ˹scriptures˺ We sent Our messengers with. So they will know ˹the consequences˺ 71. when shackles will be around their necks and chains ˹on their legs˺. They will be dragged 72. through boiling water, then burned in the Fire ˹as fuel˺. 73. Then they will be asked, “Where are those ˹idols˺ you used to associate 74. with Allah?” They will cry, “They have ˹all˺ failed us. In fact, we did not invoke anything ˹real˺ before.” This is how Allah leaves the disbelievers to stray. 75. ˹They will be told,˺ “This ˹punishment˺ is for being prideful on earth unjustly and for acting arrogantly. 76. Enter the gates of Hell, to stay there forever. What an evil home for the arrogant!” 77. So be patient ˹O Prophet˺. Surely Allah’s promise is true. Whether We show you some of what We threaten them with, or cause you to die ˹before that˺, to Us they will ˹all˺ be returned. 78. We already sent messengers before you. We have told you the stories of some of them, while others We have not. It was not for any messenger to bring a sign without Allah’s permission. But when Allah’s decree comes, judgment will be passed with fairness, and the people of falsehood will then be in ˹total˺ loss.
