Surah ash-Shu`ara' (The Poets ) 26 : 4

إِن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةً فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَٰقُهُمْ لَهَا خَٰضِعِينَ

If We had wished, We could have sent them down a sign from heaven, at which their necks would stay humbly submissive.

Explanatory Note

The verse gives a graphic picture of their submission to such a sign: “their necks will remain bent in submission.” This image depicts them with their necks permanently bent, unable ever to look up. But God Almighty has not chosen to provide such a compelling sign with His last message. Instead, He has made the Qur’ān, a complete and perfect code of living, His miraculous and overpowering sign.
