The Giver of Advance Warning
He will say: “Do not argue in My presence when I gave you
advance warning of the Threat.” (Surah Qaf, 50:28)
Allah, Who is infinitely just, sent Messengers to tell humanity
about Him. Through the just Books He gave to His Messengers, He
granted all people discrimination, taught them how to worship Him
correctly, and made them aware of the morality that will earn His
good pleasure. He provided knowledge of the Unseen: Death may
come at any time, the Hour is drawing nigh, no one will be wronged
while accounting for his or her deeds on the Day of Judgment, and
those who reject Him in this world will be punished in the next
world.
By means of such warnings, including “No indeed! Truly it is a
reminder, and whoever wills pays heed to it” (Surah ‘Abasa, 80:11-
12), Allah states that we can learn from the Qur’an and be guided. In
addition, He gives a detailed account of what happens to those who
are ungrateful, as well as what happened to earlier communities of
unbelievers, so that His servants can take heed. Allah commands
thus:
Leave the deniers, who live a life of ease, to Me, and toler-
ate them a little longer. With Us are shackles, a Blazing Fire,
food that chokes, and a painful punishment on the Day the
ground and mountains shake, and the mountains become
like shifting dunes. We have sent you a Messenger to bear
witness against you, just as We sent Pharaoh a Messenger.
But Pharaoh disobeyed the Messenger, so We seized him
