˹Can these people be compared to˺ those ˹believers˺ who stand on clear proof from their Lord, backed by ˹the Quran as˺ a witness from Him, and preceded by the Book of Moses ˹which was revealed˺ as a guide and mercy?

So be not in doubt about it. Indeed, it is the truth from your Lord, but most of the people do not believe.
