Indeed, We have set forth for mankind in this Koran every kind of parable, yet most people refuse all except disbelief. (89)

They say: 'We will not believe in you until you make a spring gush from the earth for us, (90)

or, until you own a garden of palms and vines and cause rivers to gush forth with abundant water in them; (91)

or, until you cause the sky to fall upon us in pieces, as you have claimed, or, as a surety bring Allah with the angels in front; (92)

or, until you possess an ornate house of gold, or ascend into the heavens; and we will not believe in your ascension until you have brought down for us a book which we can read. ' Say: 'Exaltations to my Lord! Am I anything except a human Messenger? ' (93)

Nothing prevented people from believing when guidance came to them but (the excuse): 'Has Allah sent a human as a Messenger? ' (94)

Say: 'Had there been angels walking at peace in the earth, We would have sent down an angel from heaven to them as a Messenger. ' (95)

Say: 'Allah is sufficient as a witness between me and you. He knows and observes His worshipers. ' (96)

Those whom Allah guides are rightly guided; but for those whom He leads astray you shall find no guardian, other than Him. On the Day of Resurrection We shall gather all of them upon their faces, blind, dumb, deaf. Gehenna shall be their refuge, whenever it dwindles, We will increase the Blaze for them. (97)

That will be their recompense because they disbelieved Our verses and said: 'When we are turned to bones and broken bits, shall we really be raised up once more as a new creation? ' (98)
