( (S Surat al-Kahf, 106) )
t

his verse reveals that the unbelievers will suffer in Hell be-
cause they mocked Allah's Signs and His Messengers.
T T Mockery is an often-used method to prevent the Qur’an from
being heard. This character deficiency,which the unbelievers recom-
mend to each other, is revealed by the following verses:
Not one of their Lord’s Signs comes to them without their turn-
ing away from it. They deny the truth each time it comes to
them, but news of what they were mocking will certainly reach
them. (Surat al-An`am, 4-5)
In addition, another verse says:
But when he [Musa] came to them with Our Signs, they merely
laughed at them. (Surat az-Zukhruf, 47)
The main reason for this mockery is that these people do not want to
hear what is being said, because they fear that their consciences might
stir, that they might begin to consider the Hereafter’s existence or their
responsibilities related to this life and death. Intending to mock Allah’s
religion, sent to us through His Messengers, they draw caricatures,
write sarcastic articles, and hope to have fun by doing so. Through such
means, they try to forget about the realities revealed by the Qur’an.
