In the Noble Quran, Allah is asking mankind some important questions.

Allah’ questions are many. In this series, these questions are chosen randomly.

Verses 6:147-149 give the question of this article and talk about it
The meanings of the verses 6:147-149
Verse 6:147 says:
So if they deny you, with regard to what you have brought,
If they give the lie to you O Muhammad regarding the prohibitions that Allah described to you,
Say: Your Lord is a Lord of all-embracing mercy towards the pious and sinner alike, in that He defers torment to the next life,
And His wrath, His torment will never be withdrawn from guilty folk, the idolaters.
And His might, His chastisement, when it comes, will never be driven back from the sinning folk’.
Verse 6:148 says:
The idolaters will say, ‘Had Allah willed, we had not ascribed unto Him partners; we would not have been idolaters, neither had our fathers nor had we forbidden aught of crops and cattle, but this has been commanded and forbidden for us.
In other words, our idolatry and our forbidding [of things] are by His will, and so He must be satisfied with it.
God, exalted be He, says: So, in the same way that they are liars, those who were before them gave the lie, to their prophets, until they tasted Our might, Our chastisement.
Say O Muhammad: Have you any clarification regarding what you describe as unlawful; Have you any knowledge, that God is satisfied with this, such that you can adduce for us?, that is, you have no such knowledge.
You follow only supposition, in this matter, merely guessing’, telling lies therein
Lo! You follow naught but an opinion, your prohibition of crops and cattle is nothing but surmise. (Lo! You do but guess) you just lie.
Verse 6:149 says:
Say to them, O Muhammad, if you do not have any definitive argument for your claim, then For Allah’s is the final, the conclusive and the perfect argument, the most firm argument. Had He willed He could indeed have guided all of you to His religion
