Anam 7-11
7- AND IF WE SEND DOWN TO THEM A BOOK WRITTEN ON PAPER FOR THEM TO TOUCH WITH THEIR HANDS, THOSE WHO DISBELIEVE WOULD SAY: “THIS IS A MANIFEST MAGIC”.
8- AND THEY SAID: “IF HE HAD AN ANGEL WITH HIM?” AND IF WE SENT AN ANGEL, IT WILL ALL COME TO AN END, AND THEY WILL NOT BE REPRIEVED.
9- AND IF WE MADE HIM AN ANGEL, WE WOULD MAKE HIM (LOOK LIKE) A MAN, AND THEY WOULD BE AS CONFUSED.
10- MANY PROPHETS BEFORE YOU WERE MOCKED, AND THOSE WHO MOCKED THEM SUFFERED BECAUSE OF THEIR MOCKING.
11- SAY: “WALK THROUGH THE EARTH AND SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO THOSE WHO REJECTED FAITH BEFORE”
The disbelievers asked Allah’s messenger, prayer and peace upon him, to perform miracles, and he showed them many, but they said that it was magic. Allah’s messenger, prayer and peace upon him, let them see the Moon split asunder, called a tree and it went to him, then went back again. He wrestled the strongest man in Makkah and defeated him twice, and then they asked for a written book to be sent down to them so that they might read it, and to have an angel with him, to support the claim that he is Allah’s messenger receiving revelations from Allah the Highest.
Allah the Highest told Allah’s messenger, prayer and peace upon him, through Gabriel, that he would do what they asked for, but if they do not believe then, they will be punished such a punishment no one else suffered before. Then Allah’s messenger, prayer and peace upon him, asked for them to be left without having answered what which they asked for, for he knew that this would not make them believe. This was a wise decision from Allah’s messenger, prayer and peace upon him, for Allah the Highest tells us that it would not have made them believe.
Allah the Highest who knows everything about His slaves is telling us neither the written book, nor the angel would have made the people believe. The angel would come in the form of a man, and then they would not be better of. Just as had happened before, they were going to call all the miracles magic. Having manifest and material miracles does not persuade those who do not want to believe. They would not persuade those who shut off their hearts, eyes and ears, but will persuade those who open their hearts and are prepared to accept the Truth of Allah’s Faith.
This happened with the companion Abd Allah Ibn Masoud, whom Allah’s messenger, prayer and peace upon him, met while he was minding sheep. They asked him for milk, but he told them that the sheep were not his, so he could not give their milk to anyone. Allah’s messenger, prayer and peace upon him, asked him for a female sheep which had never been touched by the male (Ram). He touched her Adder which filled up with milk for them to drink, then touched her adder again and it shrunk. Abd Allah Ibn Masoud embraced Islam, for he had his heart open.
Again Allah the Highest is telling us to take heed from knowing what happened to other nations and civilizations which disbelieved and went astray. They are throughout the whole earth; we see their remains, temples, palaces, stadiums etc. There were Greek, Roman, Persian and other civilizations, and all that is left of them are remains of buildings to tell us that there once were great civilizations and powers. These remains should be a reminder for us, for those prepared to take heed and learn from others mistakes.
