[1671] “The only thing that kept people from Believing, when guidance came to them, was that they said: “Has Allah sent a human being as a Messenger?”” (17: 94)
[1672] “As for ʿĀd, they waxed arrogant in the land without right and said: “Who is greater than us in strength?” Have they not considered that Allah, Who created them, is greater than them in strength? They continued to reject Our Signs” (41: 15).
