The infidels fail to understand that had the Creator of the entire universe wanted, He^-SWT could have blessed His^-SWT Prophet^-SW with ever green gardens, far greener and beautiful than they can imagine. He^-SWT could have given him^-SW treasures, heaps of wealth and palaces of grandeur far beyond their dreams. It is by His^-SWT Wisdom, and for the benefit of the masses that He^-SWT has blessed him^-SW with such a nature that he^-SW prefers to live as a common man. It is by His^-SWT Mercy that He^-SWT gave him^-SW a common life so that people can easily access him^-SW and benefit from him^-SW, he^-SW being mercy for all creations. Had he^-SW been a king like Prophet Sulaiman^-AS (Solomon), only his^-SW commands would have reached the common man, without any personal interaction. Even after conquering the entire Arabia, establishing a vast Islamic State and becoming its ruler, the Holy Prophet^-SW’s lifestyle remained like a common man.

Effects Of The Holy Prophet^–Saw’s Words:

Allah^-SWT gave the Holy Prophet^-SW the choice between wealth and modest living. He^-SW himself says: “Had I desired, mountains would turn into gold and escort me, but I prefer to live with the common man.” He^-SW had said it metaphorically, but the effects of his^-SW words are so incredible that the mountains actually became laden with gold. These deposits have since been discovered and gold mining is going on in some, while others have been preserved.

The infidels are actually not concerned about the affluence or the modest lifestyle of the Holy Prophet^-SW. They seek to deny the Day of Judgment on one pretext or the other though Allah^-SWT has decreed the punishment of Hell for those who deny it. It is denial which is causing them to deny Allah^-SWT’s Magnificence as well as the Prophethood of the Holy Prophet^-SW. They will surely face the consequences in the form of chastisement in Hell. They shall witness the atrocities of Hell while gathered for Reckoning. Its thunderous roar and awesome bellowing would send shudders into them. They will cry out for death but it would not come to their rescue and redemption even if they do so a hundred times.

The infidels may be asked if they preferred this fate over the rewards Allah^-SWT has promised to the righteous; permanent stay in ever green gardens and a handsome reward for their faith and virtuous deeds. They will abide therein and will never be expelled nor will the gardens ever wither out. All their wishes would be satisfies, a promise Allah^-SWT has vowed to fulfil.

The idolaters and the polytheists will be dumbfounded when they and their deities will be summoned face to face and Allah^-SWT will question the latter if they had misled His^-SWT people and forced them into worshipping them. Or was it that the people had themselves opted for it out of waywardness? All the idols will call out: “O Allah^-SWT ! Glorified be You^-SWT , Your Knowledge is Perfect. How could we have ever dared to declare ourselves or anyone else as God or Provider of the creation, turning away from You^-SWT and Your Magnificence? These are the people, who instead of being grateful for Your Blessings, had corrupted. You^-SWT gave them and their forefathers bounties and respite, yet they exceeded in neglect, completely forgetting all about Your Magnificence and Zikr. This became the very reason for their destruction and a tragic end. It was their neglect that made them worship others than You^-SWT .”

Allah^-SWT will now address the wrongdoers: “Your deities and those whom you had been worshipping have testified against you. So you have no excuse to evade the punishment or to put the blame on anybody else. No one will now come for your rescue.” In fact, all those who had acted as leaders and has been a source of deluding others, would be punished more severely; firstly for their own deeds and secondly for beguiling others. Indeed, all objections raised by the infidels are absurd both in terms of logic and knowledge. All the Messengers and Prophets^-AS who preceded the Holy Prophet^-SW also led a normal human life. They ate and worked for their livelihood like ordinary people and the infidels did believe in the Prophethood of some of them.

Allah^-SWT has made human beings a source of trial for one another. Affluence and poverty, health and sickness, power and authority are all variables to discover the true servants of Allah^-SWT sticking to their faith and emerging successful through the upheavals of time. ‘And ‘O’ Prophet^-SW, your Rabb^-SWT is Vigilant over everything.’
