Page 39 - The Struggle of the Messengers

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar) 37

chosen him, made him superior with blessings from His Presence
and led him to the truth. For this reason, those who obey the one
true Messenger have chosen to follow a guide to the truth.
It is revealed in the Qur'an that people with no faith expect a
Messenger to be an extraordinary individual, but that this is a
mistake. Allah speaks of these people thus:

Nothing prevents people from believing when guidance comes
to them, but the fact that they ask: "Has Allah sent a human
being as messenger?" Say: "If there had been angels on earth
going about in peace, We would have sent down to them an
angel from heaven as a messenger." (Surat al-Isra', 94-95)
The main reason why unbelievers oppose the Messengers is
not, as they untruthfully maintain, because they want to protect
the people from the Messenger's ideas. Rather, it is because such
people seek only their own advantage and thus are hostile to a
Messenger, who is viewed as a threat to these advantages.

Therefore, the leading unbelievers think they must stop a
Messenger from communicating his message.
The first thing they do is spread negative propaganda about
the Messenger and his message. Some classic accusations are
related in the Qur'an. But it is useful here to recall an important
matter: No matter what the unbelievers do to disparage a
Messenger and his followers, at least in their own foolish eyes,
and no matter what accusations they allege, they will fail.
Contrary to what they expect, their insults, accusations, and
calumnies will have no ill effect on the believers, who are aware
that they will be rewarded in this life in the finest manner and the

hereafter for enduring such things patiently, reacting to them
properly, and holding fast to His way and religious morality.
