  quote: ''
  summary: The passage contrasts believers with impious transgressors, assigning gardens
    to the righteous and hell fire to the wicked. It states that God gives worldly
    warning before the greater punishment, recalls the law given to Moses as guidance
    for Israel with appointed teachers, affirms divine judgment on the day of resurrection,
    points to destroyed generations and rain reviving parched land as signs, and answers
    the unbelievers' question about the day of decision.
