Is not the time ripe for the hearts of those who believe to submit to Allah's reminder and to the truth which is revealed? That they become not as those who received the Book of the past, but the term was prolonged for them and so their hearts were hardened, and many of them are evil doers. Al-Hadeed (57):16

Surely it has been revealed to us that the punishment will be for whoever denies and turns away. Ta Ha (20):43.
