5915 The Unbeliever, the Rejecter of Allah, will then find himself in a world of absolute Reality, in which there will be no
place for him. He will neither live nor die: xx. 74. He will wish that he could be reduced to nothingness, but even that
would not be possible. (78.40)
22:49 - Say: "O men! I am (sent) to you only to give a clear warning: 2828
2828 It is the Messenger's duty to convey the warning in the clearest terms to the wicked. It is no part of his duty to coerce
them or judge them, or bring on the Punishment for them. That only rests with Allah. But the warning itself is full of
Mercy: for it gives the highest hope to the repentant sinner who turns and comes to Allah. (22.49)
15:3 - Leave them alone to enjoy (the good things of this life) and to please themselves: let (false)
Hope amuse them: soon will knowledge (undeceive them). 19361937
1936 Literally, "to eat", Cf. v. 66 and n. 776. (15.3)
1937 The foolish and the wicked set great store by the pleasures of this world. In their pride they think they have all
knowledge. In the fulness of knowledge they will see how wrong they were. Meanwhile those who have received the
Light should not for a single moment wonder at the apparent prosperity of the ungodly in this world. They should leave
them alone, confident in the goodness and justice of Allah. (15.3)
39:16 - They shall have layers of fire above them and layers (of fire) below them: with this doth
Allah warn off His servants: "O my servants! Then fear ye Me!" 42664267
4266 The consequences of Sin when Judgment comes are aptly figured by Layers upon Layers of Fire, which hem in the
sinners above and below. It is also suggested that the Layers, though of Fire, have something dark in them-the
scorching quality of Sin. (39.16)
4267 But Allah does not leave mankind without warning. Man has been granted a limited amount of free-will, and in order to
help him in its right use, all the consequences of his action are clearly explained to him. To those who will listen to
Reason are given arguments which can be apprehended by their own intelligence; to those who are swayed by
affections and emotion, an appeal is made in the name of the love of Allah; to those who understand nothing but fear,
the warning is conveyed by a portrayal of the dreadful consequences of wrong-doing. (39.16)
17:104 - And We said thereafter to the Children of Israel "Dwell securely in the land (of promise)":
but when the second of the warnings came to pass We gathered you together in a mingled
crowd. 23132314
2313 The Israelites were taken to the Promised Land in Palestine, and they established their own kingdom there, but they
forfeited Allah's favour by their sins and backslidings and will have to answer like all souls by the law of personal
responsibility at the Day of Judgment. (17.104)
2314 The second of the warnings: the first was probably that mentioned above, in xvii. 5 and the second that mentioned in
xvii. 7 (middle). When this second warning due to the rejection of Jesus came to pass, the Jews were gathered
together in a mingled crowd. Some Commentators understand the second warning to be the Day of Judgment, the
Promise of the Hereafter. (17.104)
18:56 - We only send the Apostles to give glad tidings and to give warnings: but the Unbelievers
dispute with vain argument in order therewith to weaken the truth and they treat My Signs as a
jest as also the fact that they are warned! 2400
2400 The Prophets of Allah are not sent to humour us with dialectics or satisfy the vulgar curiosity for miracles or dark
unusual things. There is no "crookedness" (xviii. 1) in their preaching. They come to preach the Truth,-not in an
abstract way, but with special reference to our conduct. They give us the good news of salvation lest we despair in the
presence of Sin, and to warn us clearly of the dangers of Evil. Vain controversies about words only weaken their
mission, or turn it into ridicule. The ungodly have a trick also of treating the earnest preaching to them itself as a jest
and ridiculing it. (18.56)
17:5 - When the first of the warnings came to pass We sent against you Our servants given to
terrible warfare: They entered the very inmost parts of your homes; and it was a warning
(completely) fulfilled. 2175
2175 A good description of the war-like Nebuchadnezzar and his Babylonians. They were servants of Allah in the sense
that they were instruments through which the wrath of Allah was poured out on the Jews, for they penetrated through
their lands, their Temple, and their homes, and carried away the Jews, men and women, into captivity. As regards
"the daughters of Zion" see the scathing condemnation in Isaiah, iii. 16-26. (17.5)
2:213- Mankind was one single nation and Allah sent Messengers with glad tidings and warnings; and with
them He sent the Book in truth to judge between people in matters wherein they differed; but the People
of the Book after the clear Signs came to them did not differ among themselves except through selfish
contumacy. Allah by His Grace guided the believers to the truth concerning that wherein they differed.
For Allah guides whom He will to a path that is straight.
