Then, after establishing the first fundamental principle—which is Monotheism (Tawhid)—He mentioned the second fundamental principle, which is Prophethood (Risalah), by saying:
{And if they deny you, [O Muhammad], then certainly were messengers denied before you.}
Then, He explained in general terms that the denier will face punishment, and the one who affirms the denier (i.e., the believer) will receive reward, by saying:
{And to Allah all matters are returned.}
Then, He established the third fundamental principle, which is the Resurrection (Hashr):
{O mankind, indeed the promise of Allah is truth, so let not the worldly life delude you, and let not the Deceiver delude you concerning Allah.}
He said:
{O mankind, indeed the promise of Allah is truth, so let not the worldly life delude you, and let not the Deceiver delude you concerning Allah.}
