Page 43 - The Struggle of the Messengers

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar) 41

our fathers doing and to gain greatness in the land? We do not
believe you." (Surah Yunus, 78)
It is revealed in the Qur'an that the same ugly accusation was
made about the Prophet Noah (as):

We sent Noah to his people, and he said: "My people, worship
Allah. You have no deity other than Him. So will you not guard
against evil?" The ruling circle of his unbelieving people said:
"This is nothing but a human being like yourselves who
simply wants to gain ascendancy over you. If Allah had
wanted, He would have sent down angels. We never heard of
anything like this among our ancestors, the earlier peoples."
(Surat al-Muminun, 23-24)
These verses show that one of the unbelievers' foolish errors
lies in maintaining that the Messengers are ordinary people like
themselves. The fact is that every Messenger is a superior and

holy person in the Sight of Allah. The Prophet Moses (as) and all
other Messengers, without exception, call their people to obey
them – but only for the sake of gaining Allah's approval. Each
Messenger and those who believe in and obey him are Allah's
servants. Thus, when a Messenger calls people to obey him, he is
actually calling them to serve Allah:
It is not right for any human being that Allah should give him

the Book and Judgment and Prophethood, and then that he
should say to people: "Worship me rather than Allah." Rather
he will say: "Be people of the Lord, because of your knowledge
of the Book and because you study." He would never command
you to take the angels and the Prophets as Lords. Would He
command you to abandon belief after being Muslim? (Surah
Al 'Imran, 79-80)
