And what would have happened were a Qur'an to be revealed wherewith mountains could be set in motion, or the earth cleft, or the dead made to speak? (To show such signs is not at all difficult for) everything rests entirely with Allah. So, do not the people of faith (still look forward to such a sign in response to the demand of the unbelievers and) 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 Allah's promise (of chastisement) is fulfilled. Indeed Allah does not go back upon His promise.
و اگر قرآنى بود كه كوهها بدان روان مى‌شد، يا زمين بدان قطعه قطعه مى‌گرديد، يا مردگان بدان به سخن درمى‌آمدند [باز هم در آنان اثر نمى‌كرد.] نه چنين است، بلكه همه امور بستگى به خدا دارد. آيا كسانى كه ايمان آورده‌اند، ندانسته‌اند كه اگر خدا مى‌خواست قطعاً تمام مردم را به راه مى‌آورد؟ و كسانى كه كافر شده‌اند پيوسته به [سزاى‌] آنچه كرده‌اند مصيبت كوبنده‌اى به آنان مى‌رسد يا نزديك خانه‌هايشان فرود مى‌آيد، تا وعده خدا فرا رسد. آرى، خدا وعده [خود را] خلاف نمى‌كند.
