Fussilat ((signs) Spelled Out, Ha-mim)
Verse 14
Translation:
14. Behold the apostles came to them from before them and behind them (preaching): "Serve none but Allah." They said "If our Lord had so pleased He would certainly have sent down angels (to preach): now we reject your mission (altogether)."
Notes (Tafseer):
4480. "From before them and behind them": i.e., from every side. They were warned from every point of view.
4481. Cf. xv. 7, n. 1941; vi. 8-9, n. 841-42. The 'Ad had more power and material civilisation than the Pagan Arabs contemporary with the holy Prophet. But the greater the material civilisation, the greater the arrogance as the besetting sin.
