Surah 14 Ibrahim, Ayat 44-45
وَاَنۡذِرِ النَّاسَ يَوۡمَ يَاۡتِيۡهِمُ الۡعَذَابُ فَيَـقُوۡلُ الَّذِيۡنَ ظَلَمُوۡا رَبَّنَاۤ اَخِّرۡنَاۤ اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ قَرِيۡبٍۙ نُّجِبۡ دَعۡوَتَكَ وَنَـتَّبِعِ الرُّسُلَؕ اَوَلَمۡ تَكُوۡنُوۡۤااَقۡسَمۡتُمۡ مِّنۡ قَبۡلُ مَالَـكُمۡ مِّنۡ زَوَالٍۙ
﴿14:44﴾
وَّسَكَنۡتُمۡ فِىۡ مَسٰكِنِ الَّذِيۡنَ ظَلَمُوۡۤا اَنۡفُسَهُمۡ وَتَبَيَّنَ لَـكُمۡ كَيۡفَ فَعَلۡنَا بِهِمۡ وَضَرَبۡنَا لَـكُمُ الۡاَمۡثَالَ
﴿14:45﴾
(14:44) (O Muhammad), warn mankind of the Day when a severe chastisement
shall overtake them, and the wrong-doers will say: "Our Lord, grant us respite
for a short while; we shall respond to Your call and will follow Your Messengers."
(But they will be clearly told): "Are you not the same who swore earlier that
they shall never suffer decline?" (14:45) You said so even though you had lived in the dwellings of those who
had wronged themselves (by sinning), and you were aware how We dealt with them,
and We had even explained to you all this by giving examples.
