[ Why it has to be Muhammad, why not 'Tan Sri' Abu Lahab or 'Datuk Seri' Abu Jahl ??.........]
Beautiful recitation of surah al-Anbiya by a child
IN ADDITION TO THEIR DENIAL OF LIFE AFTER DEATH and accountability to God, the unbelievers also doubted the integrity and honesty of Muhammad, accusing him of lying and sorcery. " With hearts preoccupied. And they confer in secret. The wrong-doers say:" Is this other than a mortal like you? Will ye then succumb to magic when ye see (it)?" "(3), by which they meant to undermine Muhammad's status with God and the authenticity of the revelation he was relaying to them. Prophets and Messengers had to be human, since only by experiencing human feelings and emotions could they be able to communicate with their fellow men, allowing people to understand then and acknowledge their leadership. It was also necessary for them to face physical and moral hardships in discharging their missions to provide genuine and worthy role models for their people. Being unable to share human sensibilities, passions and perceptions, angels would not have been effective for such a task.
In order to accept Islam, the unbelievers asked for a physical miracle, saying: " Nay, say they, (these are but) muddled dreams; nay, he hath but invented it; nay, he is but a poet. Let him bring us a portent even as those of old (who were God's messengers) were sent (with portents). (5) Not a township believed of those which We destroyed before them (though We sent them portents): would they then believe? "(6). However, the reality is that they would not have believed anyway no matter how many signs were brought before them. Elsewhere in the Qur'an, we read: "And even if We opened unto them a Gate of heaven and they kept mounting through it, They would say: Our sight is wrong - nay, but we are folk bewitched. "(al-Hijr: 14-15).
God also points out to the Arabs that the choice of Muhammad as their Prophet and Messenger would elevate their status in the history of mankind and transform them from heathen bedouin tribes to civilized and leading nation. He says: " Now We have revealed unto you a Scripture wherein is your Reminder. Have ye then no sense? "(10)
