and if there were a quran whereby the mountains could be moved or whereby the earth could be traversed or whereby the dead could be spoken to it would be in vain. aye! the affair belongeth to allah entirely. have not then those who believe yet known that had allah willed he would have guided all mankind! and a rattling adversity ceaseth not to befall those who disbelieve for that which they have wrought or to alight nigh unto their habitation. until allahs promise cometh verily allah faileth not the tryst.
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
