17.41 - And We have certainly explained in this Quran that they may remember, but it does not increase them except in aversion. 17.42 - Say: If there were with Him gods as they say, then they would have sought to the Possessor of the throne a way. 17.43 - Glory be to Him and exalted is He is above what they say by great height. 17.44 - The seven heavens and the earth glorify Him, and whoever is in them. And there is not a single thing except that it glorifies Him by His praise, but you do not understand their glorification; indeed, He is Forbearing, Forgiving. 17.45 - And when you read the Quran, We make between you and those who do not believe in the hereafter a hidden barrier. 17.46 - And We have made over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And when you mention your Lord alone in the Quran, they turn back in aversion. 17.47 - We are most Knowing of how they listen to it when they listen to you, and when they are in private conversation, when the unjust say: You do not follow except a bewitched man. 17.48 - Look how they strike for you examples, so they have strayed and they cannot find a way. 17.49 - And they say: When we are bones and (decayed) fragments, will we be resurrected as a new creation? 17.50 - Say: Be stones or iron.
