(Now) are the disbelievers among you in a better position than all of them (the aforesaid punished people), or do you have immunity (recorded) in the sacred books?

Verily, We have created everything according to (Our) predestination.

And (implementation of) Our command is no more than a single act like the twinkling of an eye.
