you if He wants. Anyway , We haven’t sent you as a guardian over them. 55 Your Lord knows who is in the Heavens and the Earth. We favoured some prophets over others, and We gave blessed David the book of Psalms . M 56 Say: “Call those you think are your gods besides Him; they cannot remove harm from you or turn it away.” 57 Those who they call are themselves looking for the means to be nearer to Him; they long for His kindness and dread His punishment. Your Lord’s punishment is dreadful. 58 Any town We destroy before Judgement Day or punish sternly is recorded in the eternal document. 59 What stopped Us from sending miracles is people’s denial in the past, for example, We gave Thamud the miracle of the she-camel; it was self-evident but they hamstrung her. So, We now send miracles only as a warning. 60 And remember when We said to you, “Your Lord knows all about the people. ” 15 The dream We showed you and the cursed tree mentioned in the Quran were for testing people . 16 We warned them, but that made them bolder in their disobedience.

Man, is unthankful. 68 Are you sure that He won’t sink you in the ground or send a sandstorm? You won’t find any protector. 69 Are
