Likewise shall the Resurrection be. 3183 "16:64; 27:25; 29:39. 22:7; 57:18. 3181. Commentary: The verse points to an invariable divine law, viz. that whenever a Prophet of God comes into the world, the people to whom he preaches his Message become split up into two hostile camps: Those who accept God's Message and receive His blessings and those who having rejected and opposed him incur His displeasure and punishment. 3182. Commentary: The words, "so let not thy soul waste away sighing for them," give an insight into the noble soul of the Holy Prophet how anxious and eager he was to lead his people out of 2629 their evil ways and save them from the wrath of God. Another verse of the Quran, viz. "Haply thou wilt grieve thyself to death for sorrow after them if they believe not in this discourse" (18:7). Also constitutes an eloquent commentary on the solicitude and concern of the Holy Prophet for the spiritual well-being of his people and on his deep grief for their opposition to truth. But such is human ingratitude that from the very people for whom he felt and grieved so much, he received nothing but abuse, invective and ridicule. 3183.
