Allah-the Exalted-replies upon the disbelievers who requested the sending down of sensory miracles upon the Prophet peace and blessings of Allah be upon him so He says to them: "And had there been a Qur'an read, thus the mountains vanish by it from their places, or the earth be split by it as rivers, or the dead be revived by it and spoken to-as they requested from you-this Qur'an would surely have been the one characterized with that besides any other, and they would not have believed in it." but rather to Allah alone belongs the entire matter in the miracles and others. Have then the believers not known that Allah had He willed He would surely have believed the people of the earth all together from without a miracle? and the disbelievers do not cease a calamity descending upon them because of their disbelief like the killing and the capture in the raids of the Muslims, or that calamity descends near from their abode, until the promise of Allah comes with the victory over them, indeed Allah does not fail the appointment.
