Their Messengers said: ‘Do you have doubt about Allah Who is the Creator of the heavens and the earth, (Who) calls you so that He forgives your sins for you and (despite your disobedience) gives you respite for a fixed term?’ They (the disbelievers) said: ‘You are but human beings like us. You seek to hold us back from these (idols) our fathers used to worship. So bring us some clear proof.’
