Coin for them a similitude: The people of the city when those sent (from Allah) came unto them; (13) When We sent unto them twain, and they denied them both, so We reinforced them with a third, and they said: Lo! we have been sent unto you. (14) They said: Ye are but mortals like unto us. The Beneficent hath naught revealed. Ye do but lie! (15) They answered: Our Lord knoweth that we are indeed sent unto you, (16) And our duty is but plain conveyance (of the message). (17) (The people of the city) said: We augur ill of you. If ye desist not, we shall surely stone you, and grievous torture will befall you at our hands. (18) They said: Your evil augury be with you! Is it because ye are reminded (of the truth)? Nay, but ye are froward folk! (19) And there came from the uttermost part of the city a man running. He cried: O my people! Follow those who have been sent! (20) Follow those who ask of you no fee, and who are rightly guided. (21)

eight years ago in 'pearls & gem' i wrote that in america and europe ' , there will come a time when those who pray five times a day at the mosque; or keep long beards beyond certain centimetres; etc etc ; will have their names and addresses in some supercomputers as they form some basis related to 'stereotyping'......they are potentially 'dangerous' characters!..... terror suspects!
today it is a reality.
islam is the 21st century bogeyman.
....he is the one from the uttermost part of the city who come running. He cried: O my people! Follow those who have been sent! (20) Follow those who ask of you no fee, and who are rightly guided. (21)
he needs to be exterminated like vermin... !
Beautified is the life of the world for those who disbelieve; they make a jest of the believers. But those who keep their duty to Allah will be above them on the Day of Resurrection. Allah giveth without stint to whom He will. [ 2 : 212 ]
...and lest we go off with the wrong notion that jannah is already reserve for us, let us ponder just 2 ayat proceeding from the previous one,
Or think ye that ye will enter paradise while yet there hath not come unto you the like of (that which came to) those who passed away before you? Affliction and adversity befell them, they were shaken as with earthquake, till the messenger (of Allah) and those who believed along with him said: When cometh Allah's help? Now surely Allah's help is nigh. ( 2 : 214)
there is no free ticket.
life is a struggle.
and if you are a purveyor of truth, it is an uphill one.
