Al-An[am 6: 4–7

(4) Yet every time a Sign of their Lord comes to them, they run away from it, (5) and thus they gave the lie to the Truth that has now come to them. Soon they will come upon some news concerning what they had mocked at.2 (6) Have they not seen how many a people We have destroyed before them? People whom We had made more powerful in the earth than you are and upon whom We had showered abundant rains, from the heavens and at whose feet We caused the rivers to flow? And then (when they behaved ungratefully) We destroyed them for their sins, and raised other peoples in their place.

(7) (O Messenger), had We sent down to you a book in- scribed on parchment, and had they even touched it with their own hands, the unbelievers would still have said: “This is nothing but plain magic.” ▶

2 The allusion here is to the Migration (Hijrah) and the numerous victories destined to follow it in quick succession. When this allusion was made, the unbelievers could not have guessed what kind of news they would receive, and even the Muslims could not have imagined the developments that were about to unfold.
