How can there be for them an admonition, when a Messenger explaining things clearly has already come to them. Then they had turned away from him and said;

يَوْمَيِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الاِنسَـنُ وَأَنَّى لَهُ الذِّكْرَى

وَلَوْ تَرَى إِذْ فَزِعُواْ فَلَ فَوْتَ وَأُخِذُواْ مِن مَّكَانٍ قَرِيبٍ

وَقَالُواْ ءَامَنَّا بِهِ وَأَنَّى لَهُمُ التَّنَاوُشُ مِن مَّكَانِ بَعِيدٍ

And they will say (in the Hereafter);"We do believe (now);" but how could they receive (faith and its acceptance by Allah) from a place so far off... (34;51-52)

إِنَّا كَاشِفُو الْعَذَابِ قَلِيلً إِنَّكُمْ عَايِدُونَ
