me. Haman, kindle a fire for me over the clay and build me a
lofty tower so that, perhaps, I may be able to climb up to
Moses' god! I consider him a blatant liar." (Surat al-Qasas, 38)
This distorted logic of Pharaoh's betrays a general
characteristic of those who lead the forces of opposition against
Allah's Messengers: their distorted belief in Allah. For this reason,

they do not recognize that they owe obedience to His Messengers.
When a Messenger tells them that their society's status quo has
become corrupt and asks them to give up their dishonest profits
and become his followers, these arrogant leaders, who have been
spoiled by their blessings, respond with anger and hostility.
In the Qur'an, Allah informs us of their state and states that He
will choose His Messengers:
And likewise in every city, We set up its greatest wrongdoers
to plot in it. They plot against themselves alone, but they are
not aware of it. When a sign comes to them, they say: "We will
not believe until we have been given the same as the
messengers of Allah were given." Allah knows best where to
place His message. Debasement in the Sight of Allah and a
severe punishment will strike those who did wrong for the
plots that they concocted. (Surat al-An'am, 123-124)

TRAPS SET FOR THE MESSENGERS

Many accounts of the Messengers relate the opposition,
assaults, plots, and accusations that the unbelievers launch
against them. No Messenger has ever been exempted from such

abuse. The struggle between Allah's Messengers and leading
unbelievers has been going on ever since Allah sent the Prophet
Adam (as) to earth.
