Anam 33-36
33-WE KNOW THAT WHAT THEY SAY SADDENS YOU, BUT THEY DO NOT REJECT WHAT YOU SAY, THE TRANSGRESSORS DENOUNCE ALLAH’S AYAHS AND SIGNS
34-MESSENGERS BEFORE YOU WERE REJECTED AND CALLED LIARS, BUT THEY WERE PATIENT AND PERSEVERED AND THEY SUFFERED HURT UNTIL OUR VICTORY CAME TO THEM, NOTHING IS CHANGING ALLAH’S WORSE, AND YOU WERE INFORMED ABOUT THE MESSENGERS
35-IF THEIR TURNING AWAY FROM YOU IS TOO MUCH FOR YOU, THEN IF YOU CAN TUNNEL THROUGH THE EARTH OR RISE UP IN THE HEAVENS TO BRING THEM A SIGN; IF ALLAH WILLED, HE WOULD HAVE GATHERED THEM ALL ON THE RIGHT PATH, SO DO NOT BE OF THE IGNORANT
36-THOSE WHO HEAR RESPOND, BUT THE DEAD ALLAH WILL RESURRECT THEM AND THEN THEY WILL RETURN TO HIM
It is reported that Abu Jahl said to Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him, that they do not consider him a liar, but they reject the religion he brought them.
It is also reported by Ibn Is, Haq and Ibn Jarir that Abu Jahl rejected Islam and the prophecy of Mohamed prayer and peace upon him because his tribe and Mohamed’s tribe competed for the honours in Makah; feeding people, watering them, looking after the pilgrimage, but they can not match the prophet hood of Mohamed prayer and peace upon him with another prophet.
Then, Allah the Highest is telling his prophet prayer and peace upon him that he is not the first prophet to be rejected, for all prophets have been rejected by their people, and some have been killed, Yehia and Zakaria were the most recent example. The prophets of Allah have to wait patiently for Allah’s support, which will come in Allah’s good time, not when any one demands, including Allah’s prophets and messengers.
Allah the Highest sends the signs and Ayahs when he wills and desires. Allah the Highest does not hasten to send Ayahs because of any reason other than mercy to mankind, who will be punished severely if they do not believe after seeing the signs.
This is bound to happen to every one who has a worthwhile mission, or tries to correct the faults and wickedness of this world, not the prophets and messengers necessarily, but any one. Resistance and rejection are bound to happen to them and to their ideas and mission. If they are righteous, Allah the Highest supports them, but in His own time, not when we want it. When and where Allah the Highest sends His support? This is up to Him.
Allah the Highest is reminded His messenger prayer and peace upon him and us that the signs and Ayahs are with Him, this is Allah’s domain, and we have no way of producing them. If Allah willed, He would have made all mankind believers “IF ALLAH WILLED, HE WOULD HAVE GATHERED THEM ALL ON THE RIGHT PATH, SO DO NOT BE OF THE IGNORANT”. It is out of our ignorance of Allah that we question Him and His reasons. Allah the Highest might have different reasons from ours, and certainly sees through things and sees further than us.
“THOSE WHO HEAR RESPOND, BUT THE DEAD ALLAH WILL RESURRECT THEM AND THEN THEY WILL RETURN TO HIM”
Those who are alive and use their senses will hear and understand what Allah the Highest and his prophet prayer and peace upon him say, and respond to it positively, by believing and obeying.
Those who do not respond by believing and obeying are like the dead, for their hearts and senses are blocked. However, when they are resurrected, and returned to Allah, they will understand what they did not want to understand and hear what they did not want to hear. Their understanding and hearing will not do them much good then.
