and what would have happened were a quran to be revealed wherewith mountains could be set in motion or the earth cleft or the dead made to speak? everything rests entirely with allah. so do not the people of faith despair as a result of knowing that had allah so willed he could have guided all to the truth. misfortune continues to afflict the unbelievers on account of their misdeeds or to befall on locations close to their habitation. this will continue until allahs promise is fulfilled. indeed allah does not go back upon his promise.
ولو أن قرآنا سيرت به الجبال أو قطعت به الأرض أو كلم به الموتى بل لله الأمر جميعا أفلم ييأس الذين آمنوا أن لو يشاء الله لهدى الناس جميعا ولا يزال الذين كفروا تصيبهم بما صنعوا قارعة أو تحل قريبا من دارهم حتى يأتي وعد الله إن الله لا يخلف الميعاد
