"And Allah created the heavens and the earth with truth, and that every soul may be rewarded for what it has earned, and they will not be wronged. Seest thou him who takes his desire for his god, and Allah leaves him in error knowingly, and seals his hearing and his heart and puts a covering on his sight? Who can then guide him after Allah? Will you not mind? And they say: There is naught but our life of the world; we die and we live and nothing destroys us but time, and they have no knowledge of that; they only conjecture. And when Our clear messages are recited to them, their only argument is that they say: Bring (back) our fathers, if you are truthful. Say: Allah gives you life, then makes you die, then will He gather you to the day of Resurrection, wherein is no doubt, but most people know not. And Allah's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. And on the day when the Hour comes to pass, on that day will the followers of falsehood perish. And thou wilt see every nation kneeling down. Every nation will be called to its record. This day you are requited for what you did. This is Our record that speaks against you with truth. Surely We wrote what you did. Then as to those who believed and did good, their Lord will admit them to His mercy. That is the manifest achievement. And as to those who disbelieved -- were not My messages recited to you? But you were proud and you were a guilty people. And when it was said, Surely the promise of Allah is true and the Hour -- there is no doubt about it, you said: We know not what the Hour is. We think (it) only a conjecture and we are not at all sure. And the evil of what they did will become manifest to them, and that at which they mocked will encompass them. And it will be said: This day We forsake you as you neglected the meeting of this day of yours, and your abode is the Fire, and you have no helpers. That is because you made the messages of Allah a jest and the life of this world deceived you. So on that day they shall not be taken out of it, nor shall they be granted goodwill."
