3936 Two causes are mentioned why the Truth is refused acceptance. (1) Unregenerate man is arrogant, and Truth and
Righteousness expose all his pretences. (2) He hopes, by underhand plots, to undermine Truth and destroy it; but he
is caught in his own snares, while Truth marches forward triumphant. (35.43)
3937 In all history, men who followed evil were dealt with in three stages by Allah: (1) He was forbearing and merciful, and
gave them respite; (2) He sent them admonition through His Messengers, or His Signs, or His revelation; (3) He dealt
out justice and punishment. At any given moment, those given to iniquity may well be asked: "Are you going to wait
through all these stages or are you going at once to repent, obtain forgiveness, and walk in the ways of
righteousness?" (35.43)
3938 Allah's Laws are fixed, and His ways of dealing with those who follow iniquity are the same in all ages. Our human will
may falter or turn away from its course, but Allah's Will ever follows its course and cannot be turned away by any
cause whatever. (35.43)
37:71 - And truly before them many of the ancients went astray
46:17 - But (there is one) who says to his parents "Fie on you! Do ye hold out the promise to me
that I shall be raised up even though generations have passed before me (without rising
again)? " And they two seek Allah's aid (and rebuke the son): "Woe to thee! have Faith! For
the promise of Allah is true." But he says "This is nothing but tales of the ancients!" 4793
4793 A godly man often has an ungodly son, who flouts all that the father held sacred, and looks upon his father himself as
old-fashioned and unworthy of respect or regard. The contrast in an individual family may be matched by the contrast
in the passing and the rising generations of mankind. All this happens as a passing phase in the nominal evolution of
mankind, and there is nothing in this to be despondent about. What we have to do is for the mature generations to
bring up their successors in godly ways, and for the younger generations to realise that age and experience count for
something, especially in the understanding of spiritual matters and other matters of the highest moment to man.

68:15 - When to him are rehearsed Our Signs "Tales of the Ancients" he cries. 56035604
5603 Allah's Signs, by which He calls us, are everywhere-in nature and in our very heart and soul. In Revelation, every
verse is a Sign, for it stands symbolically for far more than it says. "Sign" (Ayat) thus becomes a technical term for a
verse of the Qur-an. (68.15)
83:13 - When Our Signs are rehearsed to him he says "Tales of the Ancients!" 6016
6016 Cf. vi. 25; lxviii. 15; etc. They scorn Truth and pretend that it is Falsehood. (83.13)
ANGELS:
2:30 - Behold thy Lord said to the angels: "I will create a vicegerent on earth." They said "Wilt thou
place therein one who will make mischief therein and shed blood? Whilst we do celebrate Thy
praises and glorify Thy holy (name)?" He said: "I know what ye know not." 47
2:31 - And He taught Adam the nature of all things; then He placed them before the angels and
said: "Tell Me the nature of these if ye are right." 48
2:97 - Say: Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel for he brings down the (revelation) to thy heart by
Allah's will a confirmation of what went before and guidance and glad tidings for those who
believe. 101
2:98 - Whoever is an enemy to Allah and His angels and apostles to Gabriel and Michael Lo! Allah
is an enemy to those who reject faith.
3:42 - Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah hath chosen thee and purified thee; chosen thee
above the women of all nations. 382
3:45 - Behold! the angels said "O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his
name will be Christ Jesus the son of Mary held in honor in this world and the Hereafter and of
(the company of) those nearest to Allah. 386387
4:97 - When angels take the souls of those who die in sin against their souls they say: "In what
(plight) were ye?" They reply: "Weak and oppressed were we in the earth." They say: "Was
not the earth of Allah spacious enough for you to move yourselves away (from evil)?" Such
men will find their abode in Hell what an evil refuge! 615
