40:83

For when their messengers came to them with Clear Signs, they exulted in such knowledge (and skill) as they had; but that very (Wrath) at which they were wont to scoff hemmed them in.

Elçileri onlara apaçık bilgiler getirince, onlar kendilerinde bulunan (eksik) bilgiye güvenmişlerdi. (Buna karşılık) alay ettikleri şey kendilerini kuşatacaktır.

فلما جاءت هؤلاء الأمم المكذبة رسلُها بالدلائل الواضحات، فرحوا جهلا منهم بما عندهم من العلم المناقض لما جاءت به الرسل، وحلَّ بهم من العذاب ما كانوا يستعجلون به رسلَهم على سبيل السخرية والاستهزاء. وفي الآية دليل على أن كل علم يناقض الإسلام، أو يقدح فيه، أو يشكك في صحته، فإنه مذموم ممقوت، ومعتقده ليس من أتباع محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم.
