The Forgiver - Al-Ghaafir

And He shows you His signs: which then of Allah's signs will you deny?

Have they not then journeyed in the land and seen how was the end of those before them? They were more (in numbers) than these and greater in strength and in fortifications in the land, but what they earned did not avail them.

Then when their apostles came to them with clear arguments, they exulted in what they had with them of knowledge, and there beset them that which they used to mock.

But when they saw Our punishment, they said: We believe in Allah alone and we deny what we used to associate with Him.

But their belief was not going to profit them when they had seen Our punishment; (this is) Allah's law, which has indeed obtained in the matter of His servants, and there the unbelievers are lost.
