2670 See xvi. 43 and n. 2069. This answers the Unbelievers' taunt, "he is just a man like ourselves!" True, but all
messengers sent by Allah were men, not angels or another kind of beings, who could not understand men or whom
men could not understand. (21.7)
21:10 - We have revealed for you (O men!) a book in which is a Message for you: will ye not then
understand?
26:5 - But there comes not to them a newly-revealed message from (Allah) Most Gracious but they turn away therefrom.
26:6- They have indeed rejected (the Message): so they will know soon (enough) the truth of what
they mocked at! 3141
3141 They may laugh at Allah's Message of righteousness, but they will soon see the power of Truth and realise the real
significance of the movement which they opposed. Where were the Pagans of Makkah after Badr, and still more, after
the bloodless surrender of Makkah? And the meaning may be applied universally in all history. (26.6)
28:86 - And thou hadst not expected that the Book would be sent to thee except as a Mercy from
thy Lord: therefore lend not thou support in any way to those who reject (Allah's Message).

29:18 - "And if ye reject (the Message) so did generations before you: and the duty of the apostle
is only to preach publicly (and clearly)."
36:17 - And Our duty is only to proclaim the clear Message." 3962
3962 Then they proceed to explain what their mission is. It is not to force them but to convince them. It is to proclaim openly
and clearly Allah's Law, which they were breaking,-to denounce their sins and to show them the better path. If they
were obstinate, it was their own loss. If they were rebellious against Allah, the punishment rested with Allah. (36.17)
36:69 - We have not instructed the (Prophet) in Poetry nor is it meet for Him: this is no less than a
Message and a Qur'an making things clear: 4015
4015 Cf. xxvi. 224 and n. 3237. Here "Poetry" is used as connoting fairy tales, imaginary descriptions, things futile, false, or
obscure, such as decadent Poetry is, whereas the Qur-an is a practical guide, true and clear. (36.69)
37:3 - And thus proclaim the message (of Allah)!
38:46 - Verily We did chose them for a special (purpose) proclaiming the Message of the Hereafter.
38:67 - Say: "That is a message supreme (above all)
39:23 - Allah has revealed (from time to time) the most beautiful message in the form of a Book
40:54 - A Guide and a Message to men of understanding.
52:33 - Or do they say "He fabricated the (Message)"? Nay they have no faith! 5068
5068 As an alternative to the charges of being a soothsayer or a madman or a disgruntled poet, there is the charge of a
forger or fabricator applied to the prophet of Allah when he produces his Message. This implies that there can be no
revelation or inspiration from Allah. Such an attitude negatives Faith altogether. But if this is so, can they produce a
work of man that can compare with the inspired Word of Allah? They cannot. Cf. n. 37-39, and xvii. 88. (52.33)
68:51 - And the Unbelievers would almost trip thee up with their eyes when they hear the message;
and they say: "Surely he is possessed!" 5633
5633 The eyes of evil men look at a good man as if they would "eat him up", or trip him up, or disturb him from his position
of stability or firmness. They use all sorts of terms of abuse-"madman" or "one possessed by an evil spirit", and so on.
Cf. lxviii. 2 above, and n. 5594. But the good man is unmoved, and takes his even course. The
Message of Allah is true and will endure; and it is a Message to all Creation. (68.51)
68:52 - But it is nothing less than a Message to all the worlds. 5634
5634 This is the extreme antithesis to madness or demoniacal possession. So far from the holy Prophet uttering words
disjointed or likely to harm people, he was bringing the Message of true Reality, which was to be the cure of all evil, in
every kind of world. For the different kinds of worlds see n. 20 to i. 2. (68.52)
69:12 - That We might make it a message unto you and that ears (that should hear the tale and)
retain its memory should bear its (lessons) in remembrance. 56465647
5646 It was a memorial for all time, to show that evil meets with its punishment, but the good are saved by the mercy of
Allah. (69.12)
