192. And these are similitudes that We set forth for mankind that they may reflect

[59:22] If We had sent down this Qur’an on a mountain, thou wouldst certainly have seen it humbled and rent asunder for fear of Allah. And these are similitudes that We set forth for mankind that they may reflect.

[22:74] O men, a similitude is set forth, so listen to it. Surely, those on whom you call instead of Allah cannot create even a fly, though they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly should snatch away anything from them, they cannot recover it there from. Weak indeed are both the seeker and the sought.

[7:177] And if We had pleased, We could have exalted him thereby; but he inclined to the earth and followed his evil inclination.

Such is the case of the people who disbelieve in Our Signs. So give them the description that they may ponder.
