17.91 . Or thou have a garden of date palms and grapes , and cause rivers to gush forth therein abundantly ;
17. 17.92 . Or thou cause the heaven to fall upon us piecemeal , as thou hast pretended , or bring Allah and the angels as a warrant ;
17. 17.93 . Thou have a house of gold ; or thou ascend up into heaven , and even then we will put no faith in thine ascension till thou bring down for us a book that we can read . Say ( O Muhammad ) : My Lord be glorified! Am I naught save a mortal messenger?
17. 17.94 . And naught prevented mankind from believing when the guidance came unto them save that they said : Hath Allah sent a mortal as ( His ) messenger?
17. 17.95 . Say : If there were in the earth angels walking secure , We had sent down for them from heaven an angel as messenger .
17. 17.96 . Say : Allah sufficeth for a witness between me and you Lo! He is . Knower , Seer of His slaves .
17. 17.97 . And he whom Allah guideth , he is led aright ; while , as for him whom He sendeth astray , for them thou wilt find no protecting friends beside Him , and We shall assemble them on the Day of Resurrection on their faces , blind , dumb and deaf ; their habitation will be hell ; whenever it abateth , We increase the flame for them .
17. 17.98 . That is their reward because they disbelieved Our revelations and said : When we are bones and fragments shall we , forsooth , be raised up as a new creation?
17. 17.99 . Have they not seen that Allah Who created the heavens and the earth is Able to create the like of them , and hath appointed for them an end whereof there is no doubt? But the wrong doers refuse aught save disbelief .
17. 17.100 . Say ( unto them ) : If ye possessed the treasures of the mercy of my Lord , ye would surely hold them back for fear of spending , for man was ever grudging .
