13.31 . Had it been possible for a Lecture to cause the mountains to move , or the earth to be torn asunder , or the dead to speak , ( this Quran would have done so ) . Nay , but Allah ' s is the whole command . Do not those who believe know that , had Allah willed , He could have guided all mankind? As for those who disbelieve , disaster ceaseth not to strike them because of what they do , or it dwelleth near their home until the threat of Allah come to pass . Lo! Allah faileth not to keep the tryst .
13. 13.32 . And verily messengers ( of Allah ) were mocked before thee , but long I bore with those who disbelieved . At length I seized them , and how ( awful ) was My punishment!
13. 13.33 . Is He Who is aware of the deserts of every soul ( as he who is aware of nothing ) ? Yet they ascribe unto Allah partners . Say : Name them . Is it that ye would inform Him of something which He knoweth not in the earth? Or is it but a way of speaking? Nay , but their contrivance is made seeming fair for those who disbelieve and they are kept from the right road . He whom Allah sendeth astray , for him there is no guide .
13. 13.34 . For them is torment in the life of the world , and verily the doom of the Hereafter is more painful , and they have no defender from Allah .
13. 13.35 . A similitude of the Garden which is promised unto those who keep their duty ( to Allah ) : Underneath it rivers flow ; its food is everlasting , and its shade ; this is the reward of those who keep their duty , while the reward of disbelievers is the Fire .
13. 13.36 . Those unto whom We gave the Scripture rejoice in that which is revealed unto thee . And of the clans there are who deny some of it . Say : I am commanded only that I serve Allah and ascribe unto Him no partner . Unto Him I cry , and unto Him is my return .
13. 13.37 . Thus have We revealed it , a decisive utterance in Arabic and if thou shouldst follow their desires after that which hath come unto thee of knowledge , then truly wouldst thou have from Allah no protecting friend nor defender .
13. 13.38 . And verity We sent messengers ( to mankind ) before thee , and We appointed for them wives and offspring , and it was not ( given ) to any messenger that he should bring a portent save by Allah ' s leave . For everything there is a time prescribed .
13. 13.39 . Allah effaceth what He will , and establisheth ( what He will ) , and with Him is the source of ordinance .
13. 13.40 . Whether We let thee see something of that which We have promised them , or make thee die ( before its happening ) , thine is but conveyance ( of the message ) , Ours the reckoning .
