The Holy Quran 18:56 — Surah Al-Kahf

Arabic text

وَمَا نُرْسِلُ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ إِلَّا مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ ۚ وَيُجَـٰدِلُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِٱلْبَـٰطِلِ لِيُدْحِضُوا۟ بِهِ ٱلْحَقَّ ۖ وَٱتَّخَذُوٓا۟ ءَايَـٰتِى وَمَآ أُنذِرُوا۟ هُزُوًا

Translation

We sent the Ambiyaa only as carriers (bearers) of good news (to the Mu'mineen) and as warners (to the Kuffaar). The Kuffaar use falsehood (baseless and absurd arguments) to dispute in order to eradicate (remove) the truth and they make a mockery of My Aayaat and the warnings that have been given to them.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

It is not in their power to bring on the punishment whenever you demand it or whenever they themselves wish. That is, by raising false disputes and captious arguments they want to drown out the voice of truth and, by the force of falsehood, to make the foot of truth stumble — this will never happen.
