وَلَوْ
أَنَّ
قُرْآنًا
سُيِّرَتْ
بِهِ
الْجِبَالُ
أَوْ
قُطِّعَتْ
بِهِ
الْأَرْضُ
أَوْ
كُلِّمَ
بِهِ
الْمَوْتَى
بَل
لِّلَّهِ
الْأَمْرُ
جَمِيعًا
أَفَلَمْ
يَيْأَسِ
الَّذِينَ
آمَنُوا
أَن
لَّوْ
يَشَاءُ
اللَّهُ
لَهَدَى
النَّاسَ
جَمِيعًا
وَلَا
يَزَالُ
الَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوا
تُصِيبُهُم
بِمَا
صَنَعُوا
قَارِعَةٌ
أَوْ
تَحُلُّ
قَرِيبًا
مِّن
دَارِهِمْ
حَتَّى
يَأْتِيَ
وَعْدُ
اللَّهِ
إِنَّ
اللَّهَ
لَا
يُخْلِفُ
الْمِيعَادَ

Even if the Quran would make mountains move, cut the earth into pieces and make the dead able to speak, (the unbelievers still would not believe). All affairs are in the hands of God. Do the believers still hope that they will believe? Had God wanted he could have guided the whole of mankind to the right path. The unbelievers will always suffer afflictions that result from their deeds or the affliction which occur near their homes, until God's promise of punishing them will be fulfilled. God does not disregard His promise.
