Quran,Translation and Commentary in Brief (Vol. 03)
Verse 9Verses 6-8

      The first of the above verses implies how stubborn and shameless the enemies of Mohammad (AS) were!

      In a taunting language and scornful remarks they addressed the Messenger of God, O,YOU WHO! and accused him of being mad and possessed, saying:ِ

      ``O, you to whom the Qurän has been sent down, you are mad!'' when those who have a little wisdom confront with a man of great wisdom, they call him mad because their criterion for measuring an extensive knowledge is only their own little wisdom. So the pagan Arabs accused our prophet of madness and magic, and being possessed by Jinns and supernatural spirits; because he seriously spoke of a higher moral and spiritual things, that they could not apprehend.

      The seculars and materialists measure everything with material units and standards, and cannot believe that some one might ignore all his material interests and profits, and give his life and everything to sacrifice, for the sake of a moral or spiritual goal!! But, contrary to his opposition, our prophet had a wonderfully deep faith in his own truthfulness, and mission.

      When his enemies offered to give him the greatest of ranks and wealth that could be possible among the Arabs, and also to marry him with the most beautiful girls that could be found there, in order to leave them with their idols and idolatries; Mohammad (AS) said to them:ِ

 

      ``If you set the sun upon my right shoulder, and the moon upon my left, I will not stop pursuing my aim and message even for a while!''

      Every now and then the pagans invented a new pretext for not accepting the prophet's call, such as asking to see the angels and requesting for ridiculous miracles:ِ

      ``Why don't you then bring to us the angels if you are truthful?''

      They did say why does he not bring down an angel to them but in fact they neither believed in the angels nor even in God, and just they made flimsy excuses, and nothing else!

      And after all; angels are not play toys, to be sent to satisfy the fancies of Man. They come, when they are sent, to execute God's decrees, or else, in certain duties like, punishing, rewarding, taking lives, or guiding through inspiration. Therefore when they come to an unbeliever, they do not come with gladِtidings! The people of Lot, dwelt in the Sodom and Gommorah, saw the angels in this world, when they had come to overthrow their towns and take their souls. (S11:81) Mary the virgin too, saw the angel of God in the form of a man, who gave her the good news of having Jesus Christ.
