وَكَذَّبَ

ٱلَّذِينَ

مِن

قَبۡلِهِمۡ

وَمَا

بَلَغُواْ

مِعۡشَارَ

مَآ

ءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمۡ

فَكَذَّبُواْ

Those before them denied, and these have not attained a tithe of that which We bestowed on them (of old); yet they denied My messengers. How intense then was My abhorrence (of them)!

The Saying of the Disbelievers about the Prophets, and its refutation

Allah tells us that the disbeliever deserve to be severely punished by Him, because when His clear Verses were recited to them, and they heard them fresh from the lips of His Messenger , they said:

قَالُواْ مَا هَـذَا إِلاَّ رَجُلٌ

Chapter 34, Page 433, Juz 22

37. And it is not your wealth nor your children that will bring you near unto Us, but he who believeth and doeth good (he draweth near). As for such, theirs will be twofold reward for what they did and they will dwell secure in lofty halls. 38. And as for those who strive against Our revelations, challenging, they will be brought to the doom. 39. Say: Lo! my Lord enlargeth the provision for whom He will of His bondmen, and narroweth (it) for him. And whatsoever ye spend (for good) He replaceth it. And He is the Best of Providers. 40. And on the day when He will gather them all together, He will say unto the angels: Did these worship you? 41. They will say: Be Thou Glorified. Thou (alone) art our Guardian, not them! Nay, but they worshipped the jinn; most of them were believers in them. 42. That day ye will possess no use nor hurt one for another. And We shall say unto those who did wrong: Taste the doom of the Fire which ye used to deny. 43. And if Our revelations are recited unto them in plain terms, they say: This is naught else than a man who would turn you away from what your fathers used to worship; and they say: This is naught else than an invented lie. Those who disbelieve say of the truth when it reacheth them: This is naught else than mere magic. 44. And We have given them no scriptures which they study, nor sent We unto them, before thee, any warner. 45. Those before them denied, and these have not attained a tithe of that which We bestowed on them (of old); yet they denied My messengers. How intense then was My abhorrence (of them)!
