(23:75) And even if We gave them mercy and removed what was upon them of affliction, they would persist in their transgression, wandering blindly. (23:76) And We had gripped them with suffering [as a warning], but they did not yield to their Lord, nor did they humbly supplicate, [and will continue thus] (23:77) Until when We have opened before them a door of severe punishment, immediately they will be therein in despair. (23:78) And it is He who produced for you hearing and vision and hearts; little are you grateful. (23:79) And it is He who has multiplied you throughout the earth, and to Him you will be gathered. (23:80) And it is He who gives life and causes death, and His is the alternation of the night and the day. Then will you not reason? (23:81) Rather, they say like what the former peoples said.
