In what word, then, after rejecting the Word of Allah and His Signs, will they believe?3736 a2:165; 3:191; 10:7. 16:66; 22:6; 30:51; 35:28; 39:22. 3734A. Commentary: See preceding verse. 3735. Commentary: This verse further says that as light follows darkness, similarly when spiritual darkness spreads over the entire earth, God creates new light in the form of a Prophet or Divine Reformer to whom He reveals Himself. And just as winds carry pollen from male to female trees in order to fecundate them, in the same way the spiritually elevating ideas that emanate from a Divine Reformer impregnate the minds of men and bring about spiritual revolution in them. 3736.
