13:32 - Mocked were (many) Apostles before thee: but I granted respite to the Unbelievers and<br />

finally I punished them; then how (terrible) was My requital! 18491850<br />

1849 Cf. vi. 10. (13.32)<br />

1850 The punishment was in many cases deferred. But when it did come, how terrible and exemplary it was! (13.32)<br />

13:35 - The parable of the Garden which the righteous are promised! beneath it flow rivers:<br />

perpetual is the enjoyment thereof and the shade therein: such is the End of the Righteous;<br />

and the End of Unbelievers is the Fire. 185418551856<br />

1854 For the comprehensive meaning of the root akala (literally "to eat"), see v. 66, n. 776. In its derived meaning it means<br />

fruit and enjoyment of all kinds, spiritual as well as other. The joys of heaven are not like the joys of the earth, which<br />

fade away or cloy. The joys of heaven are pure, lasting, and without any of the drawbacks which we associate with the<br />

joys of the sense. (13.35)<br />

1855 Zillun: literally shade, hence, shelter, protection, security. All these meanings are implied. Shade is one of the delights<br />

of a garden. Cf. iv. 57 and n. 579. (13.35)<br />

1856 In this, as in other places, the Fire is contrasted with the Garden, as Misery is contrasted with Bliss. We can also<br />

imagine other incidents in contrast with those of the Garden, e.g., with the Fire will be drought, aridity, thirst, instead of<br />

beautiful rivers; pain and suffering, instead of perpetual delight; no protection against the fierceness of the heat, as<br />

contrasted with the cool shades ever deepening as you proceed in the Garden. (13.35)<br />

14:2 - Of Allah to Whom do belong all things in the heavens and on earth! But alas for the<br />

Unbelievers for a terrible Penalty (their Unfaith will bring them)! 1872<br />

15:2 - Again and again will those who disbelieve wish that they had bowed (to Allah's Will) in Islam.<br />

1935<br />

1935 The time must inevitably come when those who allow themselves to be deceived by falsehood or deliberately break<br />

Allah's Law will find themselves in a terrible plight. They will then wish, ardently and again and again, that they had<br />

sought Allah's Will and walked in the light of Truth. That time may be early or late,-in this life, or at death, or at the Day<br />

of Judgment, but it must come. Man's own highest interest requires that he should awake to the Reality before it is too<br />

late for repentance. (15.2)<br />

16:27 - Then on the Day of Judgment He will cover them with shame and say: "Where are My<br />

`partners' concerning whom ye used to dispute (with the godly)?" Those endued with<br />

knowledge will say: "This Day indeed are the Unbelievers covered with Shame and Misery<br />

2050<br />

2050 The worshippers of false gods (ungodly, the Unbelievers) will be unable to reply when brought before the Judgment<br />

Seat. The comment of those "endued with knowledge"-the Prophets and Teachers whom they had rejected-will be by<br />

way of indictment and explanation of the position of those before the Judgment Seat. (16.27)<br />

18:56 - We only send the Apostles to give glad tidings and to give warnings: but the Unbelievers<br />

dispute with vain argument in order therewith to weaken the truth and they treat My Signs as a<br />

jest as also the fact that they are warned! 2400<br />

2400 The Prophets of Allah are not sent to humour us with dialectics or satisfy the vulgar curiosity for miracles or dark<br />

unusual things. There is no "crookedness" (xviii. 1) in their preaching. They come to preach the Truth,-not in an<br />

abstract way, but with special reference to our conduct. They give us the good news of salvation lest we despair in the<br />

presence of Sin, and to warn us clearly of the dangers of Evil. Vain controversies about words only weaken their<br />

mission, or turn it into ridicule. The ungodly have a trick also of treating the earnest preaching to them itself as a jest<br />

and ridiculing it. (18.56)<br />

18:101 – (Unbelievers) whose eyes had been under a veil from Remembrance of Me and who had<br />

been unable even to hear. 2447<br />

2447 Those very men who refused to see the many Signs of Allah which in this world convey His Message and to hear the<br />

Word of the Lord when it came to them, will then see without any mistake the consequences fully brought up before<br />

them. (18.101)<br />

18:102 - Do the Unbelievers think that they can take my servants as protectors besides Me? Verily<br />

We have prepared Hell for the Unbelievers for (their) entertainment.<br />

19:73 - When Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them the Unbelievers say to those who believe<br />

"Which of the two sides is best in point of position? Which makes the best show in council?"<br />
