2519 The Unbelievers may, for a time, make a better show in worldly position, or in people's assemblages where things are
judged by the counting of heads. But Truth must prevail even in this world, and ultimately the positions must be
reversed. (19.73)
21:30 - Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one
unit of Creation) before We clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will
they not then believe? 26902691
2690 The evolution of the ordered worlds as we see them is hinted at. As man's intellectual gaze over the physical world
expands, he sees more and more how Unity is the dominating note in Allah's wonderful Universe. Taking the solar
system alone, we know that the maximum intensity of sun-spots corresponds with the maximum intensity of magnetic
storms on this earth. The universal law of gravitation seems to bind all mass together. Physical facts point to the
throwing off of planets from vast quantities of diffused nebular matter, of which the central condensed core is a sun.
(21.30)
21:97 - Then will the True Promise draw nigh (of fulfillment): then behold! the eyes of the
Unbelievers will fixedly stare in horror: "Ah! woe to us! we were indeed heedless of this; nay
we truly did wrong!" 2754
21:98 - Verily ye (Unbelievers) and the (false) gods that ye worship besides Allah are (but) fuel for
Hell! To it will ye (surely) come!
22:72 - When Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them thou wilt notice a denial on the faces of the
Unbelievers! They nearly attack with violence those who rehearse Our Signs to them. Say
"Shall I tell you of something (far) worse than these Signs? It is the fire (of Hell)! Allah has
promised it to the Unbelievers! And evil is that destination!" 28532854
2853 Munkar; (1) a refusal to accept something offered; (2) a denial of something stated or pointed out; (3) a feeling of
disapproval or active aversion, or disgust. (22.72)
2854 There is irony here. 'You think Allah's revelations and Signs are distasteful to you! There will be something far more
distasteful to you if you do not repent! What do you say to the inevitable Punishment. (22.72)
24:39- But the Unbelievers their deeds are like a mirage in sandy deserts which the man parched with thirst
mistakes for water; until when he comes up to it he finds it to be nothing: but he finds Allah (ever) with
him and Allah will pay him his account: and Allah is swift in taking account. 301030113012
3012 The rebel against Allah finds himself like the man deluded by a mirage. The Truth which he rejected is always with
him. The mirage which he accepted leads to his destruction. (24.39)
24:40 - Or (the Unbelievers' state) is like the depths of darkness in a vast deep ocean overwhelmed with
billow topped by billow topped by (dark) clouds: depths of darkness one above another: if a man
stretches out his hand he can hardly see it! for any to whom Allah giveth not light there is no light!
301330143015
3013 What a graphic picture of darkness in the depths of the Ocean, wave upon wave, and on top of all, dense dark clouds!
There is so little light even in ordinary depths of the Ocean that fishes which live there lose their eyes as useless
organs. (24.40)
3014 A contrast to "Light upon Light" in xxiv. 35 above. (24.40)
3015 The true source of Light in the world of Reatity is Allah, and anyone who cuts himself off from that Light is in utter
darkness indeed, for it is the negation of the only true light, and not merely relative darkness, like that which we see,
say, in the shadows of moonlight. (24.40)
24:57 - Never think thou that the Unbelievers are going to frustrate (Allah's Plan) on earth: their
abode is the Fire and it is indeed an evil refuge!
29:47 - And thus (it is) that We have sent down the Book to thee. So the People of the Book
believe therein as also do some of these (pagan Arabs): and none but Unbelievers reject Our
Signs. 347534763477
3475 It is in this spirit that all true Revelation comes from Allah. Allah is One, and His Message cannot come in one place or
at one time to contradict His Message in another place or at another time in spirit, though there may be local
variations according to the needs or understanding of men at any given time or place. (29.47)
3476 The sincere Jews and Christians found in the holy Prophet a fulfillment of their own religion. For the names of some
Jews who recognized and embraced Islam, see n. 3227 to xxvi. 197. Among the Christians, too, the Faith slowly won
ground. Embassies were sent by the holy Prophet in the 6th and 7th years of the Hijrat to all the principal countries
round Arabia, viz., the capital of the Byzantine Empire (Constantinople), the capital of the Persian Empire (Madain),
the Sasanian capital known to the West by the Greek name of Ctesiphon, (about thirty miles south of modern
Bagdad), Syria, Abyssinia, and Egypt. All these (except Persia) were Christian countries. In the same connection an
