(10:96) Indeed, those upon whom the word of your Lord has come into effect will not believe, (10:97) Even if every sign should come to them, until they see the painful punishment. (10:98) Then has there not been a [single] city that believed so its faith benefited it except the people of Jonah? When they believed, We removed from them the punishment of disgrace in worldly life and gave them enjoyment for a time. (10:99) And had your Lord willed, those on earth would have believed - all of them entirely. Then, [O Muhammad], would you compel the people in order that they become believers? (10:100) And it is not for a soul to believe except by permission of Allah, and He will place defilement upon those who will not use reason. (10:101) Say, "Observe what is in the heavens and earth." But of no avail will be signs or warners to a people who do not believe (10:102) So do they wait except for like [what occurred in] the days of those who passed on before them? Say, "Then wait; indeed, I am with you among those who wait."
