7:146 - Those who behave arrogantly on the earth in defiance of right them will I turn away from My
signs they will not believe in them; and if they see the way of right conduct they will not adopt it
as the way; but if they see the way of error that is the way they will adopt; for they rejected Our
signs and failed to take warning from them. 11101111
1110 The argument may be simplified thus in paraphrase. The right is established on the earth as Allah created it: Nature
recognises and obeys Allah's law as fixed for each portion of Creation. But man, because of the gift of Will, sometimes
upsets this balance. The root-cause is his arrogance, as it was in the case of Iblis. Allah's Signs are everywhere, but if
they are rejected with scorn and blasphemy, Allah will withdraw His grace, for sin hardens the heart and makes it
impervious to the truth. Want of faith produces a kind of blindness to spiritual facts, a kind of deafness to the warnings
of a Day of Account. If we had contumaciously rejected faith, can we hope for anything but justice,-the just
punishment of our sins. (7.146)
1111 Rejected Our Signs: again a return to the Plural of impersonal Dignity and Authority, from the singular of personal
concern in gr anting grace and guidance to the Righteous
21:6 - (As to those) before them not one of the populations which We destroyed believed: will
these believe? 2669
2669 'If such miracles as you read of failed to convince Unbelievers of old, what chance is there that these Unbelievers will
believe? Miracles may come, but they are no cures for Unbelief. (21.6)
(SIGNS) : REJECTERS:
6:39 - Those who reject Our Signs are deaf and dumb in the midst of darkness profound: whom
Allah willeth He leaveth to wander whom He willeth He placeth on the way that is straight. 860
860 The limited free will of man makes a little difference. If he sees the Signs but shuts his ears to the true Message, and
refuses (like a dumb thing) to speak out the Message which all Nature proclaims, then according to the Plan ( of his
limited free-will) he must suffer and wander, just as, in the opposite case, he will receive grace and salvation. (6.39)
6:109 - They swear their strongest oaths by Allah that if a (special) sign came to them by it they
would believe. Say: "Certainly (all) signs are in the power of Allah: but what will make you
(Muslims) realize that even if a (special) sign comes they will not believe." 937
937 If the Unbelievers are merely obstinate, nothing will convince them. There is no story more full of miracles than the
story of Jesus. Yet in that same story we are told that Jesus said: "A wicked adulterous generation seeketh after a
sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the Prophet Jonas": Matt. xvi. 4. There are Signs given by
God every day -understood by those who believe. A mere insistence upon some particular or special Sign meant mere
contumacy and misunderstanding of the spiritual world. (6.109)
6:124 - When there comes to them a Sign (from Allah) they say: "We shall not believe until we
receive one (exactly) like those received by Allah's apostles." Allah knoweth best where (and
how) to carry out His mission. Soon will the wicked be overtaken by humiliation before Allah
and a severe punishment for all their plots. 946
946 Besides the teaching in God's Word, and the teaching in God's world, of nature and history and human contacts,
many Signs also come to the ungodly, in the shape of warnings or otherwise, which the ungodly either do not heed, or
deliberately reject. The Signs in the two cases are not the same, and that becomes one of their perverse arguments
against Faith. But God's working will be according to His own Will and Plan, and not according to the wishes whims of
the ungodly. (6.124)
7:36 - But those who reject our signs and treat them with arrogance they are companions of the fire
to dwell therein (for ever).
7:147 - Those who reject Our signs and the meeting in the hereafter vain are their deeds: can they
expect to be rewarded except as they have wrought?
7:177 - Evil as an example are people who reject Our signs and wrong their own souls.
7:182 - Those who reject Our signs We shall gradually visit with punishment in ways they perceive
not.
17:59 - And We refrain from sending the Signs only because the men of former generations treated
them as false: We sent the She-camel: to the Thamud to open their eyes but they treated her
wrongfully: We only send the Signs by way of terror (and warning from evil). 224522462247
2245 Past generations treated Signs and Portents with contempt or rebellion, and brought about their own undoing. It is
only Allah's Mercy that gives them Grace for a time and prevents the coming of those Portents and Punishments
which would overwhelm them if they were put to their trial at once. (17.59)
