Perhaps those who disbelieve will wish that they had been Muslims.
ذَرْهُمْ يَأْكُلُوا وَيَتَمَتَّعُوا وَيُلْهِهِمُ الْأَمَلُ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ![](https://www.al-quran.cc/images/pictures/ayah_num/a_3.png)

Let them eat and enjoy themselves and be diverted by [false] hope, for they are going to know.
وَمَا أَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٌ مَعْلُومٌ![](https://www.al-quran.cc/images/pictures/ayah_num/a_4.png)

And We did not destroy any city but that for it was a known decree.
مَا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ![](https://www.al-quran.cc/images/pictures/ayah_num/a_5.png)

No nation will precede its term, nor will they remain thereafter.
وَقَالُوا يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِي نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ الذِّكْرُ إِنَّكَ لَمَجْنُونٌ![](https://www.al-quran.cc/images/pictures/ayah_num/a_6.png)

And they say, "O you upon whom the message has been sent down, indeed you are mad.
لَوْ مَا تَأْتِينَا بِالْمَلَائِكَةِ إِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ![](https://www.al-quran.cc/images/pictures/ayah_num/a_7.png)

إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ![](https://www.al-quran.cc/images/pictures/ayah_num/a_9.png)

Indeed, it is We who sent down the message [i.e., the Qur’ān], and indeed, We will be its guardian.
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ فِي شِيَعِ الْأَوَّلِينَ![](https://www.al-quran.cc/images/pictures/ayah_num/a_10.png)
