Abdel Khalek Himmat

Messengers sent before you O Muhammad were also bombarded with foul epithets. The infidels mocked them and gave them a lick with the rough side of their tongues, and called them everything they could lay their tongues to. But despite their wickedness, I put their punishment in respite, then I cast them down from a position of prosperity and power and brought them to ruin, and how unbearable was the retribution.

Hamid S. Aziz

And if there were a Quran by which the mountains were moved, or by which the earth was torn asunder, or the dead made to speak (this would be the one, but what would be the point) - Nay, Allah's is the whole command! Did not those who believe know that if Allah had pleased He would have guided all mankind? As for those who disbelieve calamity (disaster) does not cease to overtake them for what they do, or it dwells close by their homes until Allah's promise comes to pass. Verily, Allah fails not in His promise.

И уже (в прошлом было так, что) насмехались над посланниками, бывшими до тебя (о, Мухаммад) (также как и твой народ насмехается над тем, что ты доводишь до них истину), и Я дал отсрочку тем, которые стали неверными. Потом Я их схватил (Своим наказанием), и каким же было Мое наказание?
