Call for observation and reflection

Say: "I urge upon you only one thing: Stand up for God two by two or one by one, and think and reflect!" There is no madness about your companion. He is a warner against the dreadful affliction (that awaits).

Say: "The reward I ask is for yourself. My reward is due from none but God; and He is witness over everything."

Say: "My Lord casts the truth: He is the knower of things unknown."

Say: "The truth has come, and falsehood had neither precedence nor will reappear."

Say: "If I am in error it is to my own loss; if I am on guidance that is so because of what my Lord reveals to me. He is all-hearing and all-too-near."

If you could see when they are gripped by terror without any escape, and are seized from close at hand

They will say: "We believe in it." How could they reach it from a place of no return?

They had surely denied it before and aimed without seeing from so far away.

A barrier shall be raised between them and what they desired, as was done with their partisans before. They too were filled with disquieting doubt.
