٦٧

The disbelievers ask, “When we and our fathers are reduced to dust, will we really be brought forth ˹alive˺?

We have already been promised this, as well as our forefathers earlier. This is nothing but ancient fables!”

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Travel throughout the land and see the fate of the wicked.”

Do not grieve for them, nor be distressed by their schemes.

They ask ˹the believers˺, “When will this threat come to pass, if what you say is true?”

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Perhaps some of what you seek to hasten is close at hand.”

Surely your Lord is ever Bountiful to humanity,¹ but most of them are ungrateful.

And surely your Lord knows what their hearts conceal and what they reveal.¹

For there is nothing hidden in the heavens or the earth without being ˹written˺ in a perfect Record.¹ 

Indeed, this Quran clarifies for the Children of Israel most of what they differ over.
