12:105-108
12:105
And how many Signs in the heavens and the earth do they pass by? Yet they turn (their faces) away from them!
12:106
And most of them believe not in Allah without associating (other as partners) with Him!
12:107
Do they then feel secure from the coming against them of the covering veil of the wrath of Allah, – or of the coming against them of the (final) Hour all of a sudden while they perceive not?
12:108
Say thou: “This is my way: I do invite unto Allah,- on evidence clear as the seeing with one’s eyes,- I and whoever follows me. Glory to Allah! and never will I join gods with Allah!”
12:109
Nor did We send before thee (as messengers) any but men, whom we did inspire, – (men) living in human habitations. Do they not travel through the earth, and see what the end was of those before them? But the home of the hereafter is best, for those who do right. Will ye not then understand?
It was men that Allah sent as His Messengers to explain Him to men. He did not send angels or gods. Into His chosen men He breathed His inspiration, so that they could see truer than other men. But they were men living with men, in men’s habitations in town or country; not recluses or cenobites, who had no personal experience of
men’s affairs and could not be teachers of men in the
fullest sense. Their deeds tell their own tale. References:
