Accept the Signs from Heaven. {53.}
****

"These are the verses of the Book
that makes {things} clear.
Perhaps you will kill yourself with grief
because they do not believe.
If We please, We should send down upon them
a sign from the heaven
so that their necks should stoop to it.
And there does not come to them
a new reminder from the Beneficent God
but they turn aside from it.
So they have indeed rejected {the truth},
therefore the news of that which they mock
shall soon come to them.
Do they not see the earth,
how many of every noble kind
We have caused to grow in it?
Most surely there is a sign in that,
but most of them will not believe.
And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful."

---- The Quran; Ash-Shu'ara {The Poets}, 2-9.

Right Course, Disbelief & Punishment. {32.}
****

“This Book, there is no doubt in it, is a guide to those who guard {against evil}.
Those who believe in the unseen and keep up prayer
and spend out of what We have given them.
And who believe in that which has been revealed to you
and that which was revealed before you
and they are sure of the hereafter.
These are on a right course from their Lord
and these it is that shall be successful.
Surely those who disbelieve,
it being alike to them whether you warn them,
or do not warn them, will not believe.
Allah has set a seal upon their hearts
and upon their hearing
and there is a covering over their eyes,
and there is a great punishment for them.
And there are some people who say:
We believe in Allah and the last day;
and they are not at all believers.
They desire to deceive Allah and those who believe,
and they deceive only themselves and they do not perceive.”

---- The Quran; Al-Baqarah {The Cow}: 1-10.
