[44:5] It is a command from us; indeed, we have been senders of messengers.
[44:6] It is a mercy from your Lord. He is the Hearer, the Knower.
[44:7] Lord of the heavens and the earth, and what is between them if you have been ascertainers.
[44:8] There is no god except He. He gives life and causes death – your Lord and Lord of your parents, the ancestors.
[44:9] Nay, they are in doubt to pay attention to.
When the messengers had come to the people before of Abraham and after of him with the clear proofs, then they turned back having their hands in their mouth and saying that we disbelieved in what you have been sent with it and we are surely in doubt about what you invite us to it being distrustful and You are not except a human like ourselves wish to hinder us from what had done our forefathers to worship:
[14:9] Does not come to you a news of those who were before of you – a people of Noah, and Aad, and Thamud, and those who were after of them? None knows them except God. There had come to them their messengers with the clear proofs, then they had turned back having their hands in their mouth and said, “Indeed, we have disbelieved in what you have been sent with it, and indeed, we are surely in doubt about what you invite us to it being distrustful.”
[14:10] Their messengers said, “Is there any doubt in God as Creator of the heavens and the earth? He invites you that He may forgive for you of your sins, and may give you respite to an appointed time.” They said, “You are not except a human like ourselves wish to hinder us from what had done our forefathers to worship. So come to us with a clear authority.”
God has sent down scripture to certain messengers, while He has chosen many of them with His messages and the clear proofs to guide humanity to the right direction due to its deviation, misguidance and unauthorized practices of His religion that the people may establish themselves with the justice to be grateful to Him:
[57:25] Certainly, we have sent our messengers with the clear proofs, and we have sent down with them the scripture and the balance that it may establish the people with the justice, while we have sent down the iron, wherein there is substantial strength and benefits for the people so that God may make known whoever helps Him in the unseen and His messengers. Indeed, God is Powerful, Almighty.
[3:144] And Muhammad is not but a messenger; certainly, there had passed away the messengers before of him. So, if he had died or he had been killed, would you have turned back on your heels? And whoever turns back on his heels, then he does not hurt God in anything, while God will reward the grateful ones.
God sent His messengers to the footsteps of other messengers supported with the clear proofs to guide humanity in the right direction due to its deviation and misguidance, but they had been arrogant and disobedient, while they had been deniers, even killers of them:
[57:26] And certainly, we had sent Noah and Abraham, and we had placed the prophethood and the scripture among their descendants; then of them there was guided one, while most of them were disobedient.
[57:27] Then we followed with our messengers to their footsteps, and we followed with Jesus, the son of Mary, and we gave him the Gospel, and we placed kindness and mercy in the hearts of those who followed him. But they invented monasticism – we never prescribed it for them except to seek pleasure of God but they have not observed it a right observance. So, we gave their recompense among them who believed, while many of them were disobedient.
[2:87] And certainly, we had given Moses the scripture and had followed up after of him with the messengers, and we had given Jesus, son of Mary the profound miracles and had supported him with the Holy Spirit. Is it that every time a messenger has come to you with what does not desire your egos, you have been arrogant? So, a party of you has denied, and a party of you kill.
God sent Noah to his people with a clear proof but the wicked people denied him and refused to worship God. Then the flood seized the wrongdoers, while He made a sign for the people of the world:
[11:25] And certainly, we had sent Noah to his people, “Indeed, I am to you a clear warner.
[11:26] That you do not worship except God. Indeed, I fear for you a punishment of a painful day.”
[11:27] Then said the leaders of those who had disbelieved from his people, “We do not see you except a human being like us, nor do we see you has followed you except those who are lowest among us having weak opinion, nor do we see in you any advantage over us. Nay, we think you liars.”
[23:23] And certainly, we had sent Noah to his people and he said, “O my people, you shall worship God; there is no god other than Him. Will you not then fear?”
[23:24] Then the leaders of those who had disbelieved from his people said, “This is not but a human being like you, he wants to make superior over you. If God had willed, surely, He would have sent down angels. We have not heard of this from our forefathers of the previous people.
[29:14] And certainly, we had sent Noah to his people, so he stayed among them one thousand years less fifty years. Then the flood seized them as they were wrongdoers.
[29:15] Then we had saved him and the people on the ship, and we have made it a sign for the people of the world.
Hud was sent to the people of Aad with the clear proofs to invite them to worship God but they disbelieved him and refused to abandon their gods saying that their gods will curse him:
[11:50] And to Aad their brother Hud. He said, “O my people, you shall worship God; there is no god for you other than He. You are not but inventors.
[11:53] They said, “O Hud, you have not come to us with clear proof, and we will not be with abandoners of our gods from your saying, nor will we be with believers for you.
[11:54] We do not say except that there has seized you of our gods with evil.” He said, “Indeed, I call God to witness; and you shall bear witness that I am free of what you associate.
God sent Salih after Hud to Thamud with a clear proof to invite them to worship God, but those who disbelieved and had been arrogant slaughtered the camel given him as a sign, then the earthquake seized them and they were in their homes:
[7:73] And to Thamud their brother Salih. He said, “O my people, you shall worship God; there is no god for you other than Him. Certainly, there has come to you a clear proof from your Lord. This is she-camel of God is a sign for you. So, you shall leave her to eat in land of God, and you do not touch her with harm that a painful punishment seizes you.
[7:75] The leaders those who have been arrogant among his people said to those who have been oppressed of whoever among them believed, “Do you know that Salih is sent one from his Lord?” They said, “Indeed, we are believers in what he has been sent with it.”
[7:76] Those who have been arrogant said, “Indeed, we are disbelievers in that which you have believed with it.”
[7:77] Then they slaughtered the she-camel, and defied from their Lord’s command, and said, “O Salih, bring us with what you promise us, if you have been among the sent ones.”
[7:78] Then the earthquake had seized them that they were dead in their home.
[11:61] And to Thamud their brother Saleh. He said, “O my people, you shall worship God; there is no god for you other than He. He has created you from the earth and has settled you in it. So, you shall ask forgiveness to Him, then shall repent to Him. Indeed, My Lord is Near, Responsive.”
[11:62] They said, “O Saleh, you have been one to whom there was a great expectation among us before this. Do you forbid us that we worship what our forefathers had worshiped? And indeed, we surely are in doubt being suspicious about what you call us to it.”
Abraham said to his father and his people why do you worship what you carve instead of God who has created you and what you make, but they turned away from him and plotted to build a fire to throw him into it but God made them the lowest and made the fire cool on Abraham to safe him.
[39:95] He said, “Do you worship what you carve?
[39:96] While God has created you and what you make!”
[21:58] He broke them into pieces, except for the largest of them so that they may refer to it on their return.
[39:97] They said, “Build for him a furnace, then throw him into the blazing fire.”
[39:98] So they had intended a plot with him, but we made them the lowliest.
[21:68] They said, “Burn him and support your gods, if you have been doers.”
[21:69] We had said, “O fire, be cool and safe on Abraham.”
There had come Joseph to his people with the clear proofs, then they had not ceased in doubt from what he had brought to them with him until when he had died saying that God will not raise a messenger after of him:
[40:34] And certainly, there had come to you Joseph before with the clear proofs, then you had not ceased in doubt from what he had brought to you with him until when he had died; you said, “God will not raise a messenger after of him. Thus that God lets go astray whoever he is a doubtful transgressor.
God sent Shuaib to Madyan and he warned his people not to worship other than God and not to cheat people giving less in measure that not to befall a disaster, while the thunder blast seized a wicked people of Shuaib but God saved Shuaib and those who had believed with him:
[11:84] And to Madyan their brother Shuaib. He said, “O my people, you shall worship God; there is no god for you other than He, and you do not make less of the measure and the scale. Indeed, I see you in prosperity, and indeed, I fear upon you a punishment of day of surrounding.
[11:85] And O my people, you shall give full of the measure and the scale with the justice. And you do not deprive the people of their things, nor do you act wickedly in the earth in spreading corruption.
[11:91] They said, “O Shuaib, we do not understand much of what you say, and indeed, we surely see you weak among us. And if not (to have) your tribe, we would have stoned you, while you are not mighty against us.”
[11:93] And O my people, you shall do on your place, indeed I am doing. Soon you will know on whom a punishment comes to disgrace him and whoever – he is a liar. And you shall watch and I am a watcher with you.”
[11:94] So when there had come our command, we had saved Shuaib and those who had believed with him with mercy from us. And there seized those who had wronged thunder blast, then they had been fallen down in their homes.
God sent Moses and Aaron with the clear proofs to Pharaoh and his people but they were arrogant and criminal, and had denied God’s signs considering them magic and continued what they had found with their forefathers. Then God dstroyed them a complete destruction:
[10:75] Then we had sent after of them Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh and his leaders with our signs, while they had been arrogant, and had been a people of criminals.
[10:76] So when there had come to them the truth from us, they said, “Indeed, this is surely a clear magic!”
[10:78] They said, “Have you come to us to turn us away from what we have found our forefathers on it and you would be for both the greatness in the earth? And we are not with believers for you two.”
[25:35] And certainly, we had given Moses the scripture, and had appointed his brother Aaron as an assistant with him.
[25:36] Then we said, “Go both with our signs to the people of those who have denied,” then we had destroyed them a complete destruction.
Jesus, son of Mary has been a messenger of God to the Children of Israel who came to them with great signs from his Lord and said to them that God is my Lord and your Lord, so you shall worship God, which is a straight path to Him, but those who have disbelieved him said that they have killed him or crucified him:
[5:46] And we have followed on their footsteps with Jesus, son of Mary confirming of that which was before of it of the Torah, and we have given him the Gospel; in it there is guidance and light, and confirming of that which was before of it of the Torah, and a guidance and instruction for the righteous.
[43:63] And when Jesus had come with the clear proofs, he said, “Certainly, I have come to you with the wisdom, and that I make clear of that which you differ in it. So you shall fear God and shall obey me.
[43:64] Indeed God, He is my Lord and your Lord; so, you shall worship Him. This is a straight path.”
[43:65] While disputed the parties among themselves, so woe to those who had wronged from a punishment of a painful day.
[61:14] O you who have believed, you shall be helpers of God as that Jesus, son of Mary, said to the disciples, “Who are my helpers towards God,” The disciples said, “We are helpers of God.” Then a group of Children of Israel had believed, and a group had disbelieved. So we had helped those who had believed against their enemy, so they had been dominant.
[4:157] And (it was) their saying, “indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, a messenger of God.” And they have not killed him, nor have they crucified him but it has been made so for them. And indeed, those who have differed in it, are surely in doubt about it. There is no knowledge of it for them except following the assumption, while certainty is they have not killed him.
Muhammad, a gentile messenger prophet had come to a people with a scripture to follow help them successful in th Hereafter, but they denied him with an excuse that God has promised to them that they should not believe to a messenger until he brings to them a sacrifice consuming it the fire, while they should reflect that every soul will be tasting death and they will be paid at the time of death while on a day of the Resurrection will be paid in full what it has earned:
[7:157] Those who follow the messenger, the gentile prophet whom they (Jews and Christians) find written with them in the Torah and the Gospel. He commands them with the right and forbids them from the evil; and he makes lawful for them the good things and makes unlawful upon them the bad things; and he relieves from them their burdens and the shackles, which has been upon them. So, those who have believed in him, and have honored him, and have helped him, and have followed the light with him, which has been sent down. Those – they are the successful ones.
[3:183] Those who have said, “God has promised to us that we should not believe to a messenger until he brings to us of a sacrifice consuming it the fire.” Say, “Certainly, there had come to you messengers before of me with the clear proofs and with what you have mentioned. Then why have you killed them, if you have been truthful?”
[3:184] So if they have denied you (Muhammad), then certainly there has been denied messengers before of you (Muhammad) who had come with the clear signs, and the Psalms, and the enlightening scripture.
[3:185] Every soul will be tasting of the death, and you will only be paid in full your reward on a day of the Resurrection. So whoever has been pulled away from the Fire and has been admitted to the Paradise, then certainly, he has succeeded, while the life of the world is not except an enjoyment of the delusion.
God has tested the people of the present generation sending a clarifying messenger with the clear proof to deliver a reminder of the Quran’s mathematical coding upon fulfillment of His covenant placed in all scripture (3:81) including the Quran (33:7) to a people of the most advanced community in the history of human civilization, but they have denied the messenger saying him to be an educated mad, while He had tested the people of Pharaoh sending to them an honorable messenger with seven prophetic signs, and they had denied him saying him to be a magician:
[44:10] So, you shall watch for a day will bring the sky with a profound smoke,
[44:11] enveloping the people; this will be a painful punishment.
[44:12] “Our Lord, remove the punishment from us; indeed, we are believers.”
[44:13] How was the reminder for them; and certainly, there had come to them a clarifying messenger (with it)?
[44:14] Then, they had turned away from him and said, “An educated, a mad!”
[44:15] Indeed, we are relievers of the punishment for a while; indeed, you are returning.
[44:16] A day we will strike the greatest strike; indeed, we are avengers.
[44:17] And certainly, we had tested a people of Pharaoh before of them (the people of present generation), and there had come to them (the people of Pharaoh) an honorable messenger (Moses).
In conclusion, this review confirms that humanity passed through deviation and misguidance for numerous times. So guidance comes from God through His messengers to stay the people in the straight path to worship Him alone without associating partner(s) with Him or to bring them back to the straight path when they were lost. But it is unfortunate that most people deny their messengers with a plea being heedless to God’s guidance and mercy not bringing into account that every soul will be paid at the time of death what it had earned as well as will be paid in full on a day of Judgment. Is it not a strange that even we are being an advanced community witnessed the consequence of denying the messenger fail to reflect to the truth to find the straight path for us to save our souls? While we see show up and mockery of practice in a great number of people.without being devoted to the religion knowing no fact and proof from the divine source, and are purchasing falsehood and innovation being blind following the ignorant scholars to make them losers.
Peaceful Friday, salaam and God bless.
