Page 45 - The Struggle of the Messengers

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar) 43

He [Pharaoh] said: "This messenger, who has been sent to you,
is crazy." (Surat ash-Shu'ara', 27)
Allah tells us that all peoples tend to make false accusations
against the Messengers sent to them:

Those who do not believe ask: "Shall we point out to you a man
who will tell you that when you have completely disintegrated
you will then be recreated all anew? Has he invented a lie
against Allah, or is he possessed?" No indeed! Those who do
not believe in the hereafter are in punishment and deeply
misguided. (Surah Saba', 7-8)
How shall they be reminded when a clear messenger has
already come to them? But then they turned away from him and
said: "He is an instructed madman!" (Surat ad-Dukhan, 13-14)
Since the leading unbelievers are unable to properly appreciate
the might of Allah they are also unable to comprehend the
courage of the Messengers, their determination in their struggle

and the source of their relevant strength and influence. While
personal gain is their first criterion, a Messenger gives up his
personal advantage to deliver Allah's message. Personal gain is an
unbelievers' sole criterion; they observe only their own interests.
In contrast, the Messenger sacrifices all his personal interests in
order to preach the word. According to the distorted logic of the
unbelievers, such behavior is opposed to worldly gain and is,
therefore, a type of madness.
However, by forgoing this world entirely, a Messenger gains

Allah's approval and mercy, as well as the promise of paradise,
which nothing else can equal in value. But unbelievers cannot
grasp this.
