And from them are those who listen to you; and We have made covers over their hearts to prevent them from understanding it, and a deafness in their ears; and if they see every sign they will not believe; even when they come to you they argue, those who reject say: "This is nothing except fictional tales of old!"

And the one who says to his parents: Enough of you! Are you promising me that I will be resurrected, when the generations who died before me never came back? While they both will implore God: Woe to you; believe! For the promise of God is the truth. He would say: This is nothing except fictional tales of old!
