AN ADDENDUM MY LIFE, ANCESTORS, AND BRETHREN IN FAITH 547 They were those who would fight for this base world. They never thought of life after death.

They did not believe in Divine decree; thus being atheists. Therefore, they became angry due to their inner jealousy. While transgressing, being rebellious, and rid- iculing, they demanded Signs. They started saying that they did not believe in such a God who speaks to anybody or decides whatever He wills or sends revelation to anybody or gives any news to anyone. This is
