The insistence of the idolaters not to heed the call

We had assigned to them close companions who made their past and present look attractive to them; and the fate that had once befallen the communities of jinns and men before them was justified upon them. They were indeed bound to perish.

The disbelievers say: "Do not listen to this Qur'an, and shout away (its reading); you may haply prevail."

We shall make the disbelievers taste the severest punishment, and retribute them for the worst that they had done.

This is the requital for God's enemies: Hell, where they will have their lasting home, as punishment for denying Our revelations.

Those who disbelieve will say: "O Lord, show us those among the jinns and men who had led us astray that we may trample them underfoot and make them wholly abject."
