DAY 407: Anbiya 41-50

•  In fact, messengers have been mocked at prior to you. So those who laughed at them were besieged by what they used to ridicule. Say, “Who will guard you, during night and day, against the RaHmān (All-Merciful, Allah)?” Still they turn away from the remembrance of their Lord. Or do they have gods who protect them besides Us? They are not able to help even themselves, nor will they have anyone to side with them against Us. In fact, We have allowed enjoyment for these ˹Meccans˺ and their forefathers for such a long time ˹that they took it for granted˺. Do they not see that We gradually reduce ˹their˺ land from its borders? Is it they who will then prevail? Say, “I warn you only by revelation, but the deaf do not listen to the call when they are warned.” If they were touched by even a breath of your Lord’s torment, they would certainly cry, “Woe to us! We have really been wrongdoers.” We set up the scales of justice for the Day of Judgment, so no soul will be wronged in the least. And ˹even˺ if a deed is the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it forth. And sufficient are We as a ˹vigilant˺ Reckoner. Indeed, We granted Moses and Aaron the decisive authority—a light and a reminder for the righteous, who are in awe of their Lord without seeing Him, and are fearful of the Hour. And this ˹Quran˺ is a blessed reminder which We have revealed. Are you still rejecting it?

      Comfort for the Prophet: Mockery is the old, tired response to prophets. The mockers always lose in the end, enveloped by the very thing they ridiculed.
      False Security: No false god or worldly power can protect anyone from Allah. The enjoyment of this life is temporary and often deludes people into arrogance.
      Perfect Justice: On the Day of Judgment, scales of absolute justice will be set up. Every deed, even the weight of a mustard seed, will be accounted for. Allah is the sufficient accountant.
      The Quran as the Criterion: Just as Allah gave Moses and Aaron the Torah as a "criterion" and "light," He has sent down the Quran as a "blessed reminder." It is the ultimate guidance for the righteous—those who fear God unseen and are apprehensive about the Hour.
      The Final Challenge: After all this, the disbelievers are left with no excuse. The question rings out: "Then are you with it unacquainted?" The Quran is clear, blessed, and sufficient. Denial is now a choice, not a necessity.
    
      Every messenger was mocked, but the mockers were destroyed; God's justice is precise as a mustard seed, and the Quran is the ultimate reminder—so why deny it?
