54 We have elaborated in this Quran

for the people every kind of

example, but the human being is a

most argumentative being.

55 What prevented people from

accepting faith, when guidance has

come to them, and from seeking

their Lord’s forgiveness? Unless

they are waiting for the precedent of

the ancients to befall them, or to

have the punishment come upon

them face to face.

56 We send the messengers only as

deliverers of good news and

warners. Those who disbelieve

argue with false argument, in order

to defeat the truth thereby. They

take My Verses, and the warnings,

for a joke.

57 Who does greater wrong than he,

who, when reminded of his Lord’s

revelations, turns away from them,

and forgets what his hands have put

forward? We have placed coverings

over their hearts, lest they

understand it, and heaviness in their

ears. And if you call them to

guidance, they will not be guided,

ever.

58 Your Lord is the Forgiver,

Possessor of Mercy. Were He to call

them to account for what they have

earned, He would have hastened the

punishment for them. But they have

an appointment from which they will

find no escape.
