The Spoils of War - 8:32
"They were even saying, "Our Lord, if this is a truth from you, rain down on us stones from the sky, or bring upon us a painful torment."
The people of the past had the same attitude towards the messengers:
The Spoils of War/8:32
"They were even saying, "Our Lord, if this is a truth from you, rain down on us stones from the sky, or bring upon us a painful torment."
وَاِذْ قَالُوا اللّٰهُمَّ اِنْ كَانَ هٰذَا هُوَ الْحَقَّ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ فَاَمْطِرْ عَلَيْنَا حِجَارَةً مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ اَوِ ائْتِنَا بِعَذَابٍ اَل۪يمٍ
The Heights/7:70
"They said: "Have you come to us that we may serve Allah alone and abandon what our forefathers served? Bring us what you threatened us with if you are truthful."
قَالُٓوا اَجِئْتَنَا لِنَعْبُدَ اللّٰهَ وَحْدَهُ وَنَذَرَ مَا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ اٰبَٓاؤُ۬نَاۚ فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَٓا اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِق۪ينَ
Prophet Jonah/10:50
"Say: "Whether His torment comes by night or by day, why are the guilty in haste about it?"
قُلْ اَرَاَيْتُمْ اِنْ اَتٰيكُمْ عَذَابُهُ بَيَاتاً اَوْ نَهَاراً مَاذَا يَسْتَعْجِلُ مِنْهُ الْمُجْرِمُونَ
Prophet Jonah/10:51
Will you believe in it after its fulfillment, so why do you seek it now in haste?
اَثُمَّ اِذَا مَا وَقَعَ اٰمَنْتُمْ بِه۪ۜ آٰلْـٰٔنَ وَقَدْ كُنْتُمْ بِه۪ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
Prophet Hud/11:32
"They said: "O Noah, you disputed with us and prolonged the dispute with us. Bring us what you threaten us with if you are truthful."
قَالُوا يَا نُوحُ قَدْ جَادَلْتَنَا فَاَكْثَرْتَ جِدَالَنَا فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَٓا اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِق۪ينَ
Prophet Hud/11:33
"He said: "Only Allah can bring it upon you if He wills. You cannot prevent it."
قَالَ اِنَّمَا يَأْت۪يكُمْ بِهِ اللّٰهُ اِنْ شَٓاءَ وَمَٓا اَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِز۪ينَ
The Prophets/21:38
"They challenge, "When will that promise be fulfilled if you are truthful?"
وَيَقُولُونَ مَتٰى هٰذَا الْوَعْدُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِق۪ينَ
Yaseen/36:48
"At the same time they challenge, "When will that promise be fulfilled if you are truthful?"
وَيَقُولُونَ مَتٰى هٰذَا الْوَعْدُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِق۪ينَ
The Sandhills/46:22
"Have you come to us to lead us astray from our gods? Bring us what you have promised us if you are truthful"."
قَالُٓوا اَجِئْتَنَا لِتَأْفِكَنَا عَنْ اٰلِهَتِنَاۚ فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَٓا اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِق۪ينَ
