“天地之间有多少迹象，他们经过时却背过脸去。他们中的大多数人信仰真主，却同时以物配主。难道他们能安心，不怕真主的刑罚像遮天的帷幕般突然降临到他们身上，也不怕末日在他们毫无察觉时突然来临吗？你说：这是我的道路，我与追随我的人，依据明确的知识邀人归向真主。赞美真主，超绝万物。我不是以物配主的人。在你之前，我派遣的都是从城镇居民中选出的男人，我向他们启示。难道他们没有在大地上游历，看看那些在他们之前的人们的结局如何吗？后世的住所对敬畏真主、顺从真主的人而言，实属更好。你们难道不明白吗？当使者们感到绝望，以为自己被欺骗时，我的援助便降临到他们那里，我所意欲的人得到了拯救。我的刑罚不会降临到犯罪的民众身上而被挡开。这些故事中确有教训，给有理智的人。这不是伪造的言论，而是对其之前经典的证实，是对万事的详细解说，是对信道之民的指引和慈悯。”

“And how many a sign in the heavens and earth they pass by, while they are averse therefrom. And most of them believe not in Allah except that they attribute partners unto Him. Do they feel secure from the ccoming against them of the covering veil of the Torment of Allah, or of the coming against them of the (Final) Hour, all of a sudden while they perceive not ? Say : This is my way; I invite unto Allah with sure knowledge, I and whosoever follows me. And Glorified and Exalted is Allah. And I am not of the Mushrikoon. And we sent before youany but men unto whom We revealed, from among the people of townships. Have they not travelled in the land and seen what was the end of those who were before them ? And verily, the home of the Hereafter is the best for those who fear Allah and obey Him Do you not then understand. When the Messengers gave up hope and thought that they were denied, then came to them Our Help, and whomsoever We willed were rescued. And Our punishment cannot be warded off from the people who are Mujrimoon. Indeed in these stories, there is a lesson for men of understanding. It is not a forged statement of which were before it and a detailed explanation of everything and a guide and a Mercy for the people who believe(TMQ al-Yusuf, verses 105-111)
