Quote:
{23:68} Then have they not reflected over the Quran, or has there come to them that which had not come to their forefathers?

{23:69} Or did they not know their Messenger, so they are toward him disacknowledging?

{23:70} Or do they say, "In him is madness?" Rather, he brought them the truth, but most of them, to the truth, are averse.

{23:71} But if the Truth had followed their inclinations, the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them would have been ruined. Rather, We have brought them their message, but they, from their message, are turning away.

I suggest,
{23:68} Have they not then reflected on the words [of the Quran], or has come to them what had not come to their forefathers?

{23:69} Or did they not know their Messenger, such that they would be toward him disavowing?

{23:70} Or do they say, "In him is madness?" Rather, he brought them the truth, but most of them, to the truth, are detesters.

{23:71} And if the True One (God) had followed their fancies, surely would have blighted the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them. Rather, We have brought them their reminder, but they, from their reminder, are turning aside.
