Most People Make the Wrong Choice
7:96 Had the people of those communities believed and turned righteous, we would have showered them with blessings from the heaven and the earth. Since they decided to disbelieve, we punished them for what they earned.
7:97 Did the people of the present communities guarantee that our retribution will not come to them in the night as they sleep?
7:98 Did the people of today’s communities guarantee that our retribution will not come to them in the daytime while they play?
7:99 Have they taken GOD’s plans for granted? None takes GOD’s plans for granted except the losers.
7:100 Does it ever occur to those who inherit the earth after previous generations that, if we will, we can punish them for their sins, and seal their hearts, causing them to turn deaf?
7:101 We narrate to you the history of those communities: their messengers went to them with clear proofs, but they were not to believe in what they had rejected before. GOD thus seals the hearts of the disbelievers.
7:102 We found that most of them disregard their covenant; we found most of them wicked.*
*7:102 This life is our last chance to redeem ourselves, but most people are proven to be stubbornly rebellious and evil (see the INTRODUCTION).
The Majority of People Do Not Believe
12:103 Most people, no matter what you do, will not believe. 12:104 You are not asking them for any money; you simply deliver this reminder for all the people. 12:105 So many proofs in the heavens and the earth are given to them, but they pass by them, heedlessly!
