"The ways of the heavens, and I may look upon the Ilah (God) of Musa (Moses): But verily, I think him to be a liar."

But, when comes the Commandment of Allah, the matter will be decided with truth, and the followers of falsehood will then be lost.

So when the command of Allah comes, it will be concluded in truth, and the falsifiers will thereupon lose [all].

Have they not travelled through the earth and seen what was the end of those before them? They were more in number than them and mightier in strength, and in the traces (they have left behind them) in the land; yet all that they used to earn availed them not.
