“However eagerly you may want them to, most men will not believe. You ask no reward from them for this: it is a reminder for all people and there are many signs in the heavens and the earth that they pass by and give no heed to—most of them will only believe in God while also joining others with Him” (p. 92). “Joseph”

“Those against whom your Lord’s sentence is passed will not believe, even if every sign comes to them, until they see the agonizing torment.
