229 Argument 7—Vanquishing of the Opponents The seventh argument, which is also a composite of many argu - ments, is that God destroyed all the Promised Messiah’s enemies, and this happened without the involvement of any human agency. We know that when someone hurts those near and dear to us, we fight them and punish them; when someone becomes an obstacle in our path, we remove them. Similarly, when God sends some - one to this world, it is reasonable to expect that He should take measures to safeguard them, remove those who become obstacles in their path, humiliate those who try to humiliate them, and frus - trate those who try to defeat them. If God did not do so, there would be no proof that He even cares for His Messengers, and thus their claims would forever remain in doubt. Even earthly kings and rulers, with their limited powers, stand by their friends and deputies and punish those who try to stand in their way and seek retribution from those who oppose them. A study of the Holy Quran confirms the dictate of reason that the enemies of those who are sent by God must be held to account. The Holy Quran says: 1 َو ْنَم ُمَلْظَا ِنَّمِم ىٰرَتْفا ىَلَع ِهّٰللا اًبِذَك ْوَا َبَّذَك ٖهِتٰيٰاِب١ؕ ٗهَّنِا اَل ُحِلْفُي َنْوُمِلّٰظلا۰۰ And who is more unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah or gives the lie to His Signs? Surely, the unjust shall not prosper.
