4924 All tittle-tattle or reports-especially if emanating from persons you do not know-are to be tested, and the truth<br />

ascertained. If they were believed and passed on, much harm may be done, of which you may have cause afterwards<br />

to repent heartily. Scandal or slander of all kinds is here condemned. (49.6)<br />

52:11 - Then woe that Day to those that treat (truth) as Falsehood 5045<br />

59:13 - Of a truth ye are stronger (than they) because of the terror in their hearts (sent) by Allah.<br />

This is because they are men devoid of understanding. 5389<br />

60:2 - If they were to get the better of you they would behave to you as enemies and stretch forth<br />

their hands and their tongues against you for evil; and they desire that ye should reject the<br />

Truth. 5411<br />

68:8 - So hearken not to those who deny (the Truth). 5598<br />

5598 The enemies of Allah's truth are sometimes self-deceived. But quite often they have a glimmering of the truth in spite<br />

of their desire to shut their eyes. Then they compromise, and they would like the preachers of inconvenient truths to<br />

compromise with them. On those terms there would be mutual laudation. This easy path of making the best of both<br />

worlds is a real danger or temptation to the best of us, and we must be on our guard against it if we would really enter<br />

into the company of the Righteous who submit their wills to the Will of Allah. Abu Jahl freely offered impossible<br />

compromises to the holy Prophet. (68.8)<br />

98:1 - Those who reject (Truth) among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists were not<br />

going to depart (from their ways) until there should come to them Clear Evidence 622162226223<br />

6221 The People of the Book immediately referred to are the Jews and the Christians, who had received scriptures in the<br />

same line of prophecy in which came our holy Prophet. Their scriptures should have prepared them for the advent of<br />

the greatest and last of the Prophets. For the Jewish scriptures promised to the Jews, cousins or brethren to the<br />

Arabs, a prophet like Moses: "The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy<br />

brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken" (Deut, xviii. 15). And Christ promised a Comforter (John. xiv. 16; xv.<br />

26; and xvi. 7; see my n. 5438 to lxi. 6) almost by name. The People of the Book fell from the true, straight, and<br />

standard religion, into devious ways, and would not come to the true Path until (they said) they were convinced by the<br />

arrival of the promised Prophet. But when the promised Prophet came in the person of Muhammad, they rejected him,<br />

because they really did not seek for Truth but only followed their own fancies and desires. (98.1)<br />

6222 The Polytheists, the Pagans, had not previously believed in any scriptures. But yet, when clear evidence came to<br />

them, they should have believed. Yet they rejected the holy Prophet because they were not really searching for Truth,<br />

but were only following their own fancies and desires. (98.1)<br />

6223 The Clear Evidence was the holy Prophet himself, his life, his personality, and his teaching. (98.1)<br />

98:6 - Those who reject (Truth) among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists will be in<br />

hell-fire to dwell therein (for aye). They are the worst of creatures. 6231<br />

6231 To be given the faculty of discrimination between right and wrong, and then to reject truth and right, is the worst folly<br />

which a creature endowed with will can commit. It must necessarily bring its own punishment, whether the creature<br />

calls himself one of the children of Abraham or one of the redeemed of Christ, or whether he goes by the mere light of<br />

nature and reason as a Pagan. Honour in the sight of Allah is not due to race or colour, but to sincere and righteous<br />

conduct (xlix. 13). (98.6)<br />
