(40:66) Say, [O Muhammad], "Indeed, I have been forbidden to worship those you call upon besides Allah once the clear proofs have come to me from my Lord, and I have been commanded to submit to the Lord of the worlds." (40:67) It is He who created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clinging clot; then He brings you out as a child; then [He develops you] that you reach your [time of] maturity, then [further] that you become elders. And among you is he who is taken in death before [that], so that you reach a specified term; and perhaps you will use reason. (40:68) He it is who gives life and causes death; and when He decrees a matter, He but says to it, "Be," and it is. (40:69) Do you not consider those who dispute concerning the signs of Allah - how are they averted? (40:70) Those who deny the Book and that with which We sent Our messengers - they are going to know, (40:71) When the shackles are around their necks and the chains; they will be dragged (40:72) In boiling water; then in the Fire they will be filled [with flame].
