Read in Context

Chapter 23, Page 345, Juz 18

33. But the chiefs of his people—who disbelieved, denied the meeting ˹with Allah˺ in the Hereafter, and were spoiled by the worldly luxuries We had provided for them—said ˹to the masses˺, “This is only a human like you. He eats what you eat, and drinks what you drink. 34. And if you ˹ever˺ obey a human like yourselves, then you would certainly be losers. 35. Does he promise you that once you are dead and reduced to dust and bones, you will be brought forth ˹alive˺? 36. Impossible, simply impossible is what you are promised! 37. There is nothing beyond our worldly life. We die, others are born, and none will be resurrected. 38. He is no more than a man who has fabricated a lie about Allah, and we will never believe in him.” 39. The messenger prayed, “My Lord! Help me, because they have denied ˹me˺.” 40. Allah responded, “Soon they will be truly regretful.” 41. Then the ˹mighty˺ blast overtook them with justice, and We reduced them to rubble. So away with the wrongdoing people! 42. Then We raised other generations after them. 43. No people can advance their doom, nor can they delay it. 44. Then We sent Our messengers in succession: whenever a messenger came to his people, they denied him. So We destroyed them, one after the other, reducing them to ˹cautionary˺ tales. So away with the people who refuse to believe!
