<strong>The</strong> Quran 70: 36<br />

36 What is wrong with the disbelievers? Why do they rush to peer<br />

at you [Prophet], 37 from right and left, in crowds? 38 Does every one<br />

of them expect to enter a Garden of bliss? 39 No! We created them<br />

from the substance they know, a 40 and, by the Lord of every sunrise<br />

and sunset, We have the power 41 to substitute for them others better<br />

than they are – nothing can prevent Us from doing this. 42 So leave<br />

them to wallow in idle talk, until they come face to face with their<br />

promised Day, 43 the Day they will rush out of their graves as if<br />

rallying to a flag, 44 eyes downcast and covered in shame: that is the<br />

Day of which they were warned.<br />

a <strong>The</strong>y deny the Resurrection, and this points out to them that God has the power to<br />

create them from such a small beginning and that He can bring about the Resurrection.<br />

Cf. 56: 56–62.
