Surah 36:46
"yet not a sign comes to them from the signs of their Lord without their turning away from it."
36.46 – yet not a sign comes to them from the signs of their Lord without their turning away from it
This verse is one of several in this sūra that portray – in an extremely negative way – the people who see the Creator’s signs or hear the messenger’s preaching. And yet this portrayal is by now familiar. Such verses need to be taken into account when summarizing the Quran’s view of human nature. See the analysis of this theme at 79.40.
