Whether We let you see some of the punishment promised to them or We cause you to die first it does not matter; finally, they will be returned to Us. S G 78 We sent messengers before you; some We told you about and others We haven’t yet told you about. A messenger only brings miracles by God’s permission. When God’s command comes on Judgement Day justice will be done; there the followers of falsehood will be losers. 79 God made livestock for you to ride on and to eat from, 80 there are other benefits too for you in them. You can get to any destination you wish riding on them, and ships also carry you. 81 He shows you His signs, so which of God’s signs will you deny? D ’ 82 Haven’t they travelled about the land and seen the outcome of the deniers of past times? They were greater in numbers, mightier than them and moreover left behind bigger remains on the land, yet all they accomplished will not benefit. 83 So when Our messengers came to them with clear signs, they smugly continued with what little they knew, and were finally engulfed by the punishment they mocked. 84 So when they saw Our punishment they declared, “We believe in God; the One and we reject any partner we associated with Him.” 85 Their belief won’t benefit them now, since they have seen Our punishment. This was the Way of God among His servants in the past, the disbelievers will be utter losers there.
