Surah Ash-Shu'ara — Ayah 4 (26:4)
إِن نَّشَأۡ نُنَزِّلۡ عَلَيۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةٗ فَظَلَّتۡ أَعۡنَٰقُهُمۡ لَهَا خَٰضِعِينَ ٤
English translation (Saheeh International)
If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.1
- - i.e., they would be compelled to believe.
Brief commentary
If I had wished to send down to them a miracle from the sky I would have sent it down and their necks would remain bowed in utter humility before it. But I did not wish that, in order to test them: Do they believe in the Ghaib?
