Chapter 31: Some of the objections which the Mushriks of Makkah<br />
raised against the Prophet ,ﷺ and their arrogance in persistently<br />
asking him ﷺ to provide a number of Signs and miracles, not for<br />
seeking guidance and rectitude but out of intransigence<br />
For this reason many of their demands or the things they had wished for were rejected<br />
and not fulfilled, because <strong>Al</strong>laah تعاىل knew that even if their wishes were fulfilled, and<br />
they had seen what they wanted, they would have still obstinately persisted in their<br />
transgression and misguidance, wandering blindly.<br />
<strong>Al</strong>laah تعاىل said:<br />
﴿وَأَق سَم واُبِاللَّهُُِجَه دَُُأَْي َاِنِِم ُُلَئِنُجَاءَت ه م ُُآيَةُُلَّي ؤ مِن نَُُِّبَِاُُۖق ل ُُإَِّنََّاُاْل يَات ُُعِندَُُاللَّهُُُِۖوَمَاُي ش عِرك م ُ ُ<br />
أَنَّهَا ُإِذَاُجَاءَت ُُّلَُُي ؤ مِن ونَُُ*ُوَن قَلِّب ُُأَف ئِدَتَه م ُُوَأَب صَارَه م ُُكَمَاُلَُُي ؤ مِن واُبِهُُِأَوَّلَُُمَرَّةُُوَنَذَرُه م ُُفِ ُُط غ يَاِنِِم ُُ<br />
يَع مَه ونَُُ*ُوَلَو ُُأَنَّنَاُنَزَّل نَاُإِلَي هِمُُال مَالَ ئِكَةَُُوَكَلَّمَه مُُال مَو تَىُُوَحَشَر نَاُعَلَي هِم ُُك لَُُّشَيءُُق ب ال ُُمَّاُكَان واُلِي ؤ مِن واُ<br />
إِّلَُُّ أَن ُيَشَاءَُُاللَّهُُوَلَىكِنَُُّأَك ثَرَه م ُُيَ هَل ونَُ﴾<br />
{And they swear their strongest oaths by <strong>Al</strong>laah, that if there came to them a sign,<br />
they would surely believe therein. Say: “Signs are but with <strong>Al</strong>laah and what will make<br />
you (Muslims) perceive that (even) if it (the sign) came, they will not believe?” And<br />
We shall turn their hearts and their eyes away (from guidance), as they refused to<br />
believe therein for the first time, and We shall leave them in their trespass to wander<br />
blindly. And even if We had sent down unto them angels, and the dead had spoken<br />
unto them, and We had gathered together all things before their very eyes, they<br />
would not have believed, unless <strong>Al</strong>laah willed, but most of them behave ignorantly.}<br />
[Surah al-An`aam (6): 109-111] 209<br />
209 [TN: In his Tafseer, Ibn Katheer رمحهُاهلل mentioned a very good point regarding the Companions of the Prophet<br />
mentions about some of the favors He did تعاىل how they believed in him without asking for a miracle. <strong>Al</strong>laah ,ﷺ<br />
:تعاىل for the Children of Israa’eel but how they still rebelled against Him<br />
{And We shaded you (O Children of Israa'eel) with clouds and sent down on you al-Manna and al-Salwa,<br />
(saying): “Eat of the good lawful things We have provided for you,” (but they rebelled). And they did not wrong<br />
Us but they wronged themselves.} [Surah al-Baqarah (2): 57]<br />
