When they meet the faithful, they say we believe, and when they are alone with their demons, they say we are with you, we were only mocking.

God mocks them and keeps them in their transgression blind.

These are the ones who have bought straying instead of guidance, consequently, their trade will not yield dividend and they will never be guided.

Their example is like the one who lit a fire, once it brightened his surroundings; God took away his light and left him in the darkness, not being able to see.

Deaf, dumb, and blind, consequently, they will never return.

Or, like a storm from the sky full of darkness, thunder and lightning, they cover their ears from the concussion, fleeing death; however, God is completely surrounding the unfaithful.

The lightning almost takes away their eyesight. When there is light they all move and when it becomes dark, they stand still. Had God willed, He would have taken their hearing and their eyesight. Surely, God is All Powerful over all things.

O you people, worship your Lord, the One who created you as well as those before you, that you may become god-fearing.

He is the One who made the land habitable and the sky a structure and he sends from the sky water, and He brings out with it all kinds of fruits as provisions for you. Therefore, do not set up likenesses for God while you know.

And if you are in doubt regarding what We have revealed to our servant, then bring a chapter like this and call upon your witnesses other than God if you are truthful.
