people through the mediation of messengers whom He has chosen from

among them. Throughout history, however, there have been many who
rejected these facts. Despite all the proofs for the existence of Allah that
have been set before them, and even though Allah has shown them obvi-

final revelation, Allah tells us of such people:

is the alternation of the night and day. So will you not use your intellect?
However, they say the same as previous peoples said. They say, "When we
are dead and turned to dust and bones, shall we then be raised again? "We
and our forefathers were promised this before. This is nothing but the
myths of previous peoples!" Say: "To whom does the Earth belong, and
everyone in it, if you have any knowledge?" They will say: "To Allah."
