IS QURÄN CREATED? Verses 1-5

      This chapter begins with a serious and shaking warning to all people:ِ

      ``The time has approached for people's reckoning, and yet they are turning away with negligence.''

      Here, the assertion that our reckoning is now very near, may imply that the future of our world in the length of time, is less than its past. By approach of reckoning the death, might also be considered; which gives a stop to all our acts, and casts our gaze on the result of our deeds.

   Every breath is a step that takes us nearer to our doom, and yet we are heedless, and even turn our backs to the Merciful Messages of our Creator.

      In the second verse, an stress is put upon the importance of the warning:ِ ``When new reminder or warning comes to them they listen to it while their hearts are busy in amusements?'' What a use of giving ear, when the heart is absent. Such people will naturally find no way to salvation and prosperity.

      For fear of criticism, they whisper to each other, saying:ِ ``Is he other than a human like ourselves? Why then should we attend to his witchcraft, when we are able to see, and we can find our way on?''

      The poor pagans who kept their whisperings confidential, did not know that, every word, if it is uttered openly, or whispered secretly, is well known to God. To this effect our prophet said:ِ ``My Lord knows whatever is said in the heavens and earth, and He is All-hearing, All-knowing.

      The verses then apply to the heathenic accusations and charges made on the inspired Messenger of God, and his Message. The charges that the heathens and hypocrites made against our prophet were many, and some of them contradictory!:ِ Some called him a magician, and other said; he is a poet. One said, he is mad, and another said, his fascinating words are charming. Some made sure that his saying were the sayings of God through inspiration, and some thought it to be nightmares! Some thought him to be a mankind like themselves because he ate, drank, and walked in the streets.

      They objected why has he not a house made of gold and silver and a garden so and so; if he really is the Messenger of God!?

      But the truth about him is that, he was an elect of God from among mankind. He was an inspired apostle, and the last and the seal of the Messengers of God.
