Yusuf AliIf (such) were Our Will, We could send down to them from the sky a Sign, to which they would bend their necks in humility
Saheeh InternationalAnd no revelation comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it

Saheeh InternationalDid they not look at the earth - how much We have produced therein from every noble kind
