The Believers
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE
[23:75]
And even were We to show them mercy and remove whatever distress might befall them [in this life], they would still persist in their overweening arrogance, blindly stumbling to and fro.


* v.75 : Sc., “as it inevitably befalls all human beings”: an oblique allusion to the fact that human life is never free from distress.
