When the disbelievers see you ˹O Prophet˺, they only make fun of you, ˹saying,˺ “Is this the one who speaks ˹ill˺ of your gods?” while they disbelieve at the mention of the Most Compassionate. Humankind is made of haste. I will soon show you My signs, so do not ask Me to hasten them. They ask ˹the believers˺, “When will this threat come to pass if what you say is true?” If only the disbelievers knew that a time will come when they will not be able to keep the Fire off their faces or backs, nor will they be helped. In fact, the Hour will take them by surprise, leaving them stunned. So they will not be able to avert it, nor will it be delayed from them. Quran 21:36~40 Surah al-Anbiya` (The Prophets)

وَإِذَا رَءَاكَ ٱلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوۤا۟ إِن یَتَّخِذُونَكَ إِلَّا هُزُوًا أَهَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِی یَذۡكُرُ ءَالِهَتَكُمۡ وَهُم بِذِكۡرِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ هُمۡ كَـٰفِرُونَ خُلِقَ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ مِنۡ عَجَلࣲۚ سَأُو۟رِیكُمۡ ءَایَـٰتِی فَلَا تَسۡتَعۡجِلُونِ وَیَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا ٱلۡوَعۡدُ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَـٰدِقِینَ لَوۡ یَعۡلَمُ ٱلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا۟ حِینَ لَا یَكُفُّونَ عَن وُجُوهِهِمُ ٱلنَّارَ وَلَا عَن ظُهُورِهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ یُنصَرُونَ بَلۡ تَأۡتِیهِم بَغۡتَةࣰ فَتَبۡهَتُهُمۡ فَلَا یَسۡتَطِیعُونَ رَدَّهَا وَلَا هُمۡ یُنظَرُونَ
The basic theme of the Surah is Prophets and Prophethood as indicated by the name itself. All Prophets were human beings. They suffered at the hands of their enemies. Allah also tested them, but they always trusted Allah and lived according to His command. They were people of prayers and devotions and Allah listened to their prayers.
یہ منکرین حق جب تمہیں دیکھتے ہیں تو تمہارا مذاق بنا لیتے ہیں کہتے ہیں "کیا یہ ہے وہ شخص جو تمہارے خداؤں کا ذکر کیا کرتا ہے؟" اور ان کا اپنا حال یہ ہے کہ رحمان کے ذکر سے منکر ہیں انسان جلد باز مخلوق ہے ابھی میں تم کو اپنی نشانیاں دکھائے دیتا ہوں، جلدی نہ مچاؤ یہ لوگ کہتے ہیں "آخر یہ دھمکی پُوری کب ہو گی اگر تم سچے ہو" کاش اِن کافروں کو اُس وقت کا کچھ علم ہوتا جبکہ یہ نہ اپنے منہ آگ سے بچا سکیں گے نہ اپنی پیٹھیں، اور نہ ان کو کہیں سے مدد پہنچے گی وہ بلا اچانک آئے گی اور اِنہیں اِس طرح یک لخت دبوچ لے گی کہ یہ نہ اس کو دفع کر سکیں گے اور نہ اِن کو لمحہ بھر مُہلت ہی مل سکے گی
