As for the believers who make sacrifices to spread the truth, they will find that their efforts will be graciously rewarded, and they will have no regrets for taking a stand for Allah in this world. Allah could send a nation multiple messengers with unique miracles at the same time, and that would do nothing but push the disbelievers further in their defiance. This story shows us that when people decide not to believe in Allah’s message, it is simply out of their arrogance. Not only did they reject the message, but they murdered the local man who accepted the Messengers. Despite all of the guidance and reason that they received, the people of the town still rejected it. Not only were they given multiple Messengers to guide them, but they also had a righteous man from among the people of the town who testified to the validity of their message. He gives us the example of the town to which He sent three Messengers. If they really had any sincerity or belief in the unseen, they would have followed his guidance. Allah responds to this in Surah Ya Sin by addressing the heart of the matter: the legitimacy of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as a Messenger, and how disbelievers lie to themselves about why they don’t believe in him.Īllah introduces this topic by showing us how the opponents of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ have completely shut themselves off from using reason. In Surah al-Fatir, He also mentions that the disbelievers claim that they would believe in a message from Allah only if they had a real Messenger sent to them. In the surahs leading up to Surah Ya Sin, Allah gives us extensive proofs and signs of the Day of Judgment. The following is excerpted Shaykh Hamzah Abdul Malik’s The Endless Banquet, Volume III, as well as from Imam al-Qushayri’s Tafsir of Surah al-Waqi’ah, which will be published in full as part of IGI’s Tafsir Reimagined series.
