Human arrogance and denial

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ

And they say, "When is [the fulfillment of] this promise, if you should be truthful?"

وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ

And no messenger would come to them except that they ridiculed him.

وَيَقُولُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَءِذَا مَا مِتُّ لَسَوْفَ أُخْرَجُ حَيًّا

And man [i.e., the disbeliever] says, "When I have died, am I going to be brought forth alive?"
