:67. It is He Who has created you from dust then from a sperm-drop, then from a leech-like clot; then does he get you out (into the light) as a child: then lets you (grow and) reach your age of full strength; then lets you become old,- though of you there are some who die before;- and lets you reach a Term appointed; in order that ye may learn wisdom.
:68. It is He Who gives Life and Death; and when He decides upon an affair, He says to it, "Be", and it is.
:69. Seest thou not those that dispute concerning the Signs of Allah? How are they turned away (from Reality)?-
:70. Those who reject the Book and the (revelations) with which We sent our messengers: but soon shall they know,-
:71. When the yokes (shall be) round their necks, and the chains; they shall be dragged along-
:72. In the boiling fetid fluid: then in the Fire shall they be burned;
:73. Then shall it be said to them: "Where are the (deities) to which ye gave part-worship-
:74. "In derogation of Allah?" They will reply: "They have left us in the lurch: Nay, we invoked not, of old, anything (that had real existence)." Thus does Allah leave the Unbelievers to stray.
:75. "That was because ye were wont to rejoice on the earth in things other than the Truth, and that ye were wont to be insolent.
:76. "Enter ye the gates of Hell, to dwell therein: and evil is (this) abode of the arrogant!"
:77. So persevere in patience; for the Promise of Allah is true: and whether We show thee (in this life) some part of what We promise them,- or We take thy soul (to Our Mercy) (before that),-(in any case) it is to Us that they shall (all) return.
