Answer to the "What do you expect from me after
I embrace the Qur'an's morality?" deceit
lthough this may appear to be an impromptu question, in
A reality the members of societies ignorant of religion always
direct it toward those believers who communicate the message.
No doubt, the Prophets are the leaders of those who commu-
nicate Allah's religion and have such a high degree of moral ex-
cellence that they are most sincere toward Allah. Despite their
exemplary character, however, the Qur'an relates that their peo-
ple greeted them with suspicion and sought to relate their sin-
cere efforts to their personal interests. Without a doubt, the
reason behind their suspicion is that these people were devoid of
understanding and could not appreciate the superior wisdom
and morals of these blessed believers. The Prophets have always
faced this groundless slander while performing their duty that
Allah has given them 'to call people to religion'. Attention is
drawn to this slander in many verses of the Qur'an.
