Allah it is Who created you of weakness, then gave you after weakness strength; then after strength, weakness and gray hair. He creates what He will. He is the Knowing, the Able.
And on the day when the Hour comes the criminals will swear they tarried but an hour. Thus did they lie before.
[footnote 717: They deceived themselves in the world, pretending that they had no future life, refusing to see the evidence. In the same manner they will wish to refuse to see the evidence that they are resurrected and about to be judged.]
But those to whom knowledge and faith had been given will say: You have tarried, by Allah's decree, until the Day of Resurrection. This is the Day of Resurrection, but you did not know.
On that day their excuses will not profit the unjust, nor will they be allowed to make amends.
Truly We have coined for mankind in this Qur'an of every kind of example. But if you were to bring them a sign, those who disbelieve would say: "You are but forgers."
Thus does Allah seal the hearts of those who do not know.
So have patience! Allah's promise is true, and let not those who have no certainity make you impatient.
-The Majestic Qur'an, pg.410
