Commentary: The verse depicts disbelievers as saying ironically and sarcastically to the Holy Prophet, "your teaching is too good for us sinners to accept and your ideals too sublime to be understood and realized by us. " If the words are taken to be spoken seriously they would mean: "We are fully determined not to accept your teaching. We have closed all the avenues of our hearts, eyes and ears against it. " 3559. Commentary: This verse answers the sarcasm of disbelievers referred to in the previous verse. The Holy Prophet is told to say to them that he is but a man like them and no god or angel. Therefore, there is no reason why they should not be able to understand the message of which the bearer is a human being and which is meant for human beings. 3560. Commentary: The verse mentions two very prominent characteristics of disbelievers they do not pay to the competent authorities, out of their hoarded wealth, the Zakāh which is due from them and do not believe in the accountability for their actions in the life to come. 2802 3561.
