وَكُلًّا ضَرَبْنَا لَهُ الْأَمْثَالَ ۖ وَكُلًّا تَبَّرْنَا تَتْبِيرًا
39. And for each We presented examples [as warnings], and each We destroyed with [total] destruction.
أَرَأَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ إِلَٰهَهُ هَوَاهُ أَفَأَنْتَ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ وَكِيلًا
43. Have you seen the one who takes as his god his own desire? Then would you be responsible for him?
فَلَا تُطِعِ الْكَافِرِينَ وَجَاهِدْهُمْ بِهِ جِهَادًا كَبِيرًا
52. So do not obey the disbelievers, and strive against them with the Qur'an a great striving.
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ اسْجُدُوا لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ قَالُوا وَمَا الرَّحْمَٰنُ أَنَسْجُدُ لِمَا تَأْمُرُنَا وَزَادَهُمْ نُفُورًا ۩
60. And when it is said to them, "Prostrate to the Most Merciful," they say, "And what is the Most Merciful? Should we prostrate to that which you order us?" And it increases them in aversion.
لَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ
3. Perhaps, [O Muhammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers.
وَمَا يَأْتِيهِمْ مِنْ ذِكْرٍ مِنَ الرَّحْمَٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ
5. And no revelation comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it.
وَاتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ
69. And recite to them the news of Abraham,
كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
105. The people of Noah denied the messengers
كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
123. 'Aad denied the messengers
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ
139. And they denied him, so We destroyed them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
