Alif Lam Ra. Those are the signs of the Book and of a manifest Koran.

Perchance the unbelievers will wish that they had surrendered:
3
leave them to eat, and to take their joy, and to be bemused by hope; certainly they will soon know!
4
Never a city have We destroyed, but it had a known decree,
5
and no nation outstrips its term, nor do they put it back.
6
They say: 'Thou, upon whom the Remembrance is sent down, thou art assuredly possessed!
7
Why dost thou not bring the angels unto us, if thou speakest truly?'
8
We send not down the angels, save with truth;
9
then they would not be respited. It is We who have sent down the Remembrance, and We watch over it.
10
Indeed, We sent Messengers before thee, among the factions of the ancients,
