15:13

لَا یُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦ وَقَدۡ خَلَتۡ سُنَّةُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ ۝١٣

Amatul Rahman Omar

They will not believe in this (Qur'an), though the precedence of the former peoples has already gone (before them showing how the opposition of truth makes them deserving of the punishment of God)

15:14

قَالَ یَـٰۤإِبۡلِیسُ مَا لَكَ أَلَّا تَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّـٰجِدِینَ ۝٣٢
