The Holy Quran 6:35 — Surah Al-An'am

Arabic text

وَإِن كَانَ كَبُرَ عَلَيْكَ إِعْرَاضُهُمْ فَإِنِ ٱسْتَطَعْتَ أَن تَبْتَغِىَ نَفَقًا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَوْ سُلَّمًا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَتَأْتِيَهُم بِـَٔايَةٍ ۚ وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَجَمَعَهُمْ عَلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰ ۚ فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْجَـٰهِلِينَ

Translation

(O Muhammad) If their turning away (from Islaam) is difficult for you (because of your concern for them) then, if you are able to do so, search for a tunnel (hole) into the earth or a ladder to the sky and bring forth a miracle for them (since you cannot do this, you will have to exercise patience until Allaah deals with them). If Allaah willed, He would have gathered them all upon guidance (however, He did not desire to do so). So do not be of the uninformed ones (and do not worry about them).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The disbelievers’ demand for miracles: the demand of the disbelievers was that if he is a prophet, there should always be with him such a sign that everyone, on seeing it, would be convinced and compelled to believe.
