Yet, those who disbelieve in their Lord continue to deviate. [6:2] He is the One who created you from mud, then predetermined your life span, a life span that is known only to Him. Yet, you continue to doubt. [6:3] He is the one GOD in the heavens and the earth. He knows your secrets and your declarations, and He knows everything you earn. [6:4] No matter what kind of proof comes to them from their Lord, they turn away from it, in aversion. [6:5] Since they rejected the truth when it came to them, they have incurred the consequences of their heedlessness. [6:6] Have they not seen how many generations before them we have annihilated? We established them on earth more than we did for you, and we showered them with blessings, generously, and we provided them with flowing streams. We then annihilated them because of their sins, and we substituted another generation in their place. [6:7] Even if we sent down to them a physical book, written on paper, and they touched it with their hands, those who disbelieved would have said, "This is no more than clever magic." [6:8] They also said, "If only an angel could come down with him!" Had we sent an angel, the whole matter would have been terminated, and they would no longer be respited.
