Say: it is He who sowed you in the earth, and to Him shall ye be gathered.

But they say, “When shall this threat be, if ye are speakers of truth?”

Say: the knowledge thereof is with God alone, and I am naught but a plain warner.

But when they shall see it nigh, the countenance of those who disbelieved shall be evil,—and it shall be said, “This is what ye called for.”

Say: Have ye considered—whether God destroy me and those with me, or whether we win mercy—still who will save the unbelievers from aching torment?

Say: He is the Merciful: we believe in Him, and in Him we put our trust—and ye shall soon know which it is that is in manifest error!

Say: Have ye considered if your waters should sink away to-morrow, who will bring you running water?
