Surat Ar-Ra`d (5-6)

{وَإِن تَعْجَبْ فَعَجَبٌ قَوْلُهُمْ أَئِذَا كُنَّا تُرَاباً أَئِنَّا لَفِي خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ أُوْلَـئِكَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِرَبِّهِمْ وَأُوْلَئِكَ الأَغْلاَلُ فِي أَعْنَاقِهِمْ وَأُوْلَـئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدونَ} (الرعد : 5)

5- O Prophet, if you wonder, then wondrous is their saying: "When we are dust, shall we indeed then be (raised) in a new creation'' They deny the resurrection of creation after death despite their belief in the beginning of creation. It is as if they do not ponder over the fruits and plants which die then grow again by the command of Allah once or twice.

They believe in the great heavens and the earth which carry them along with other creatures that amaze minds and awaken hearts. Is not it strange that all these signs do not possess their thinking, awaken their hearts, and alerts their minds to think in the power of their great Creator and that He is Able to revive souls and cause them to die as it is seen in the universe and the movements of His Creatures? They disbelieved their Lord when they did not believe in His Power to resurrection which reflects the denial of His power, and belying to Him and to His Messenger.

The retribution of their disbelief and denial is to tie their necks and to be pulled in Hell-Fire on the Day of Recompense as they prevented their reasons and hearts to reflect in the world, and their final destination shall be Hell-fire to live there forever.

{وَيَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ قَبْلَ الْحَسَنَةِ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِهِمُ الْمَثُلاَتُ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُو مَغْفِرَةٍ لِّلنَّاسِ عَلَى ظُلْمِهِمْ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَشَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ} (الرعد : 6)

6- Those disbelievers ask you to hasten punishment before they ask for guidance, mercy, and good health, while exemplary punishments have indeed occurred before them when they belied their Prophets, but most disbelievers are heedless and do not consider.

But verily, your Lord is full of forgiveness for mankind, in spite of their wrongdoing. And verily, your Lord is (also) severe in punishment for those who insist on sins regardless the punishment of Allah.
