Al-Nisa’ 4: 165–70

(165) These Messengers were sent as bearers of glad tidings and as warners so that after sending the Messengers people may have no plea against Allah.96 Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise. (166) (Whether people believe or not) Allah bears witness that whatever He has revealed to you, He has revealed with His knowledge, and the angels bear witness to it too, though the witness of Allah is sufficient. (167) Those who denied this Truth and barred others from the way of Allah have indeed strayed far away. (168) Likewise, Allah will neither forgive those who denied the Truth and took to wrong-doing nor will He show them any other way (169) save that of Hell wherein they will abide. And that is easy for Allah.

(170) O people! Now that the Messenger has come to you bearing the Truth from your Lord, believe in him; it will be good for you. ▶

96 God’s purpose in raising the Prophets was to establish His argument against mankind. God did not want criminals to have any basis on which to plead that their actions were done in ignorance and that no arrangement had been made to guide man to the Truth.
