Just as We entered the disbelief into the hearts of the past nations through the mockery of the messengers and their belying, likewise We perform that in the hearts of the polytheists of your people who committed crime with the disbelief in Allah and the belying of His Messenger, they do not confirm with the Reminder which was sent down to you, and the way of the former ones has surely passed by the destruction of the disbelievers, and these are like them, those persistent of them on the disbelief and the belying will shortly perish.
