of Allah. But once the danger is past, they become indifferent or wish to appear good while dallying with evil. See next<br />

verse. (31.32)<br />

3622 They halt between two opinions. They are not against good, but they will not eschew evil. They are a contrast to those<br />

who "constantly persevere and give thanks". But such an attitude amounts really to "perfidious ingratitude". (31.32)<br />

35:39 - He it is that has made you inheritors in the earth: if then any do reject (Allah) their rejection<br />

(works) against themselves: their rejection but adds to the odium for the Unbelievers in the<br />

sight of their Lord: their rejection but adds to (their own) undoing. 39303931<br />

3931 Their rejection and ingratitude only causes injury to themselves. They lose all honour and incur odium in the sight of<br />

Allah, and they complete their own undoing. (35.39)<br />

36:4 – And if they reject thee so were apostles rejected before thee: to Allah go back for decision<br />

all affairs. 3875<br />

3875 And yet there will be human perversity which will reject the True and accept the False. The prophet of Allah is not<br />

discouraged by this, as everything ultimately retums to Allah, and we must trust to His Wisdom in His Universal Plan.<br />

(35.4)<br />

36:70 - That it may give admonition to any (who are) alive and that the charge may be proved<br />

against those who reject (Truth). 40164017<br />

4016 "Alive", both in English and Arabic, means not only "having physical fife", but having all the active qualities which we<br />

associate with life. In religious language, those who are not responsive to the realities of the spiritual world are no<br />

better than those who are dead. The Message of Allah penetrates the hearts of those who are alive in the spiritual<br />

sense. (36.70)<br />

4017 Cf. xxviii. 63. If people reject Truth and Faith after they have been admonished and warned,<br />

the charge against them, of wilful rebellion, is proved. They cannot then plead either ignorance<br />

or inadvertence. (36.70)<br />

40:12 - (The answer will be:) "This is because when Allah was invoked as the only (object of<br />

worship) ye did reject Faith but when partners were joined to Him ye believed! The command<br />

is with Allah Most High Most Great!" 43724373<br />

4372 Cf. xxxix. 45, and n. 4313. When exclusive devotion is not rendered to Allah, there is no true understanding, in the<br />

mind of a creature, of his own true position, or of the working of the Divine Will and Purpose. How can he then hope to<br />

achieve the purpose of his life, or obtain Allah's Mercy, which is the only way to obtain release from the consequences<br />

of Sin? (40.12)<br />

4373 At the Judgment, the matter will have passed out of the stage at which further chances could have been hoped for.<br />

But in any case Allah is High above all things, Great above all that we can conceive of, both in Mercy and in Justice.<br />

The Decision will be with Him, and Him alone. (40.12)<br />

40:63 - Thus are deluded those who are wont to reject the Signs of Allah. 4437<br />

4437 See the last two notes. If men are deluded by Falsehoods, it is because they reject Revelation and refuse to learn<br />

from the Signs of Allah all around them. (40.63)<br />

40:70 - Those who reject the Book and the (revelations) with which We sent Our apostles: But soon<br />

shall they know 4447<br />

4447 "The Book" may refer to the Holy Qur-an or to the fundamental, Revelation the "Mother of the Book" (xiii. 39), while<br />

the Books revealed to the messengers are the definite Revelations that came down to men from time to time. (40.70)<br />

41:28 - Such is the requital of the enemies of Allah the Fire: therein will be for them the Eternal<br />

Home: a (fit) requital for that they were wont to reject Our Signs.<br />

43:30 - But when the Truth came to them they said: "This is sorcery and We do reject it." 4633<br />

4633 When the pagan Makkans could not understand the wonderful power and authority with which<br />

the holy Prophet preached, they called his God given influence sorcery! (43.30)<br />

45:31 - But as to those who reject Allah (to them will be said): "Were not Our Signs rehearsed to<br />

you? But ye were arrogant and were a people given to sin!<br />

46:3 - We created not the heavens and the earth and all between them but for just ends and for a<br />

term appointed: but those who reject Faith turn away from that whereof they are warned. 4776<br />

4776 Cf. xlv. 22. Many things may appear to us in the present world as strange and inexplicable. But everything made by<br />

Allah has a just purpose which must be fulfilled. Nothing in this world is permanent: everything is for an appointed<br />
