14:11 Their messengers said to them, “We are no more than human beings like you, but it is Allah Who bestows His favor upon whom He wills of His slaves. It is not for us to bring you proof except with Allah’s permission, and in Allah let the believers put their trust.

14:12 Why should we not put our trust in Allah, and it is He Who has guided us to our ways? We will surely be patient against whatever harm you cause us. And in Allah let the faithful put their trust.”

14:13 The disbelievers said to their messengers, “We will surely drive you out of our land unless you return to our religion.” Their Lord then inspired them, “We will certainly destroy the wrongdoers,

14:14 and We will make you dwell in the land after them. This is for those who fear standing before Me[1], and who fear My warning.”

14:15 [The messengers] sought victory, and every obstinate tyrant was doomed.

14:16 Hell awaits him, and he will be made to drink of oozing pus,

14:17 which he will sip with difficulty and can hardly swallow, and death will come to him from every direction, yet he will not die. And ahead of him will be a harsh punishment.

14:18 The deeds of those who disbelieve[1] in their Lord are like ashes that are blown away by the wind on a stormy day. They will gain nothing from what they did; that is the farthest misguidance.
