               Unbelievers just cannot come to terms with the fact that
           one of their own people should be entrusted with conveying
           Allah's message to them. Therefore, they resort to lying imag-
           ining that people will be afraid of the messengers and thus
           avoid them. All conscientious and intelligent people who hear
           the messengers' sincere and wise teachings, as well as wit-
           ness their impeccable character and sincere devotion to reli-
           gion, become their followers. Unbelievers aimed, on the basis
           of their own base mentalities, to portray the believers' strong
           devotion as something worthless and insignificant. The
           Qur'an provides examples of such events:
               Do people find it so surprising that We should reveal to
               a man among them: “Warn humanity and give the good
               news to those who believe, that they are on a sure foot-
               ing with their Lord.” The unbelievers say: “This is down-
               right magic!” (Surah Yunus, 2)

               They are surprised that a warner should come to them
               from among themselves. The unbelievers say: “This is a
               lying magician. Has he turned all the deities into One
               God? That is truly astonishing!” (Surah Sad, 4-5)
               Unbelievers accused messengers of being magicians,
           and went even further to lie that they were possessed. Some
           of the verses in this regard are the following:
               We know how they listen when they listen to you, and
               when they confer together secretly, and when the
               wrongdoers say: “You are only following a man who is
               bewitched!” (Surat al-Isra’, 47)
               They said: “You are merely someone bewitched. You
               sssare nothing but a human being like ourselves. So,
