Following Our Parents Blindly: A Great Human Tragedy (14:10 – 14:18)

Following Our Parents Blindly: A Great Human Tragedy

14:10 Their messengers said, “Do you have doubts about GOD; the Initiator of the heavens and the earth? He invites you only to forgive your sins, and to give you another chance to redeem yourselves.” They said, “You are no more than humans like us, who want to repel us from the way our parents used to worship. Show us some profound authority.”

14:11 Their messengers said to them, “We are no more than humans like you, but GOD blesses whomever He chooses from among His servants. We could not possibly show you any kind of authorization, except in accordance with GOD’s will. In GOD the believers shall trust.

14:12 “Why should we not trust in GOD, when He has guided us in our paths? We will steadfastly persevere in the face of your persecution. In GOD all the trusters shall trust.”

14:13 Those who disbelieved said to their messengers, “ We will banish you from our land, unless you revert to our religion.” Their Lord inspired them: “We will inevitably annihilate the transgressors.

14:14 “And we will let you dwell in their land after them. This is (the reward) for those who reverence My majesty, and reverence My promise.”
