13:31

وَلَوْ اَنَّ قُرْاٰنًا سُیِّرَتْ بِهِ الْجِبَالُ اَوْ قُطِّعَتْ بِهِ الْاَرْضُ اَوْ كُلِّمَ بِهِ الْمَوْتٰىؕ بَلْ لِلّٰهِ الْاَمْرُ جَمٖیعًاؕ اَفَلَمْ یَایْــَٔسِ الَّذٖینَ اٰمَنُٓوا اَنْ لَوْ یَشَٓاءُ اللّٰهُ لَهَدَى النَّاسَ جَمٖیعًاؕ وَلَا یَزَالُ الَّذٖینَ كَفَرُوا تُصٖیبُهُمْ بِمَا صَنَعُوا قَارِعَةٌ اَوْ تَحُلُّ قَرٖیبًا مِنْ دَارِهِمْ حَتّٰى یَاْتِیَ وَعْدُ اللّٰهِؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یُخْلِفُ الْمٖیعَادَࣖ

Translations

And if there was any qur'an by which the mountains would be removed or the earth would be broken apart or the dead would be made to speak, [it would be this Qur'an], but to Allah belongs the affair entirely. Then have those who believed not accepted that had Allah willed, He would have guided the people, all of them? And those who disbelieve do not cease to be struck, for what they have done, by calamity - or it will descend near their home - until there comes the promise of Allah. Indeed, Allah does not fail in [His] promise

Saheeh International

Had it been possible for a Lecture to cause the mountains to move, or the earth to be torn asunder, or the dead to speak, (this Qur'an would have done so). Nay, but Allah's is the whole command. Do not those who believe know that, had Allah willed, He could have guided all mankind? As for those who disbelieve, disaster ceaseth not to strike them because of what they do, or it dwelleth near their home until the threat of Allah come to pass. Lo! Allah faileth not to keep the tryst
