Exaltations be to Him! High indeed be He exalted above what they say! (43)

The seven heavens, the earth, and whosoever in them, exalt Him. There is nothing that does not exalt with His praise, but you do not understand their exaltation. Surely, He is Clement, Forgiving. (44)

When you recite the Koran, We place between you and those who do not believe in the Everlasting Life an obstructing barrier. (45)

We lay veils upon their hearts and heaviness in their ears, lest they understand it. When you (Prophet Muhammad) mention your Lord alone in the Koran, they turn their backs in aversion. (46)

When they listen to you, We know very well how they listen. When they conspire, when the evildoers declare: 'You are only following a man who is bewitched! ' (47)

See what they compared you to. They have surely gone astray and cannot find a Path. (48)

'What! ' they say. 'When we are (turned to) bones and broken bits, shall we be raised again in a new creation? ' (49)

Say: 'Let you be stones or iron, (50)

or any other creation yet more monstrous in your minds. ' They will ask: 'Who will restore us? ' Say: 'He who originated you at first. ' They will shake their heads and ask: 'When will this be? ' Say: 'Maybe it is near, (51)

on that Day, He will summon you, and you shall answer Him with praise and you shall think you have stayed but for a little. ' (52)
