Messengers Warn about Two Dangers
Messengers warn about two main dangers: the worldly destruction of nations and the resurrection punishment that follows. These dangers go hand in hand, serving as a preview of what is to come. When a nation faces destruction in this world, it naturally leads to understanding the consequences that await in the hereafter.
The Strange Concept of Warning After Death
Critics found it strange that a warner came to them from among themselves, emphasizing the nearness of the warning. They questioned the need for warnings about events after their death, dismissing the notion of being resurrected after being turned into dust as far-fetched and impossible. This rejection highlights their denial of meeting their Creator and the concept of resurrection.
Contemplating the Revelation
Facing skepticism and denial, the disbelievers expressed disbelief in the warnings presented, focusing particularly on the challenge of understanding divine revelation. The concept of being warned about the afterlife through revelation was deemed most difficult to accept, emphasizing the crucial role of revelation in understanding the beliefs about God and the afterlife. This skepticism highlights the need for deeper contemplation and acceptance of divine guidance.
