In The Name of Allah-SWT the Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
SECRETS OF REVELATION:

What is the matter with the infidels, that instead of support they charge at the Holy Prophet-SW’s from all directions, repudiate his teachings, raise objections and mock at him? Yet every nation hopes for salvation in the Akhirah. From East to West, all Jews and Hindus or Christians etc. claim Paradise for themselves though they are dead wrong. There is no way to salvation but through Prophet Muhammad-SW’s obedience. The atheists who do not believe in any religion must ponder how Allah-SWT has fashioned them into gifted human beings, with elegant bodies, from a mere drop of semen. The exquisite system of the Easts and the Wests, whereby countless creations evolve each second, is an evidence to the fact that Allah-SWT is fully capable of creating people superior and more gifted than those living today.

 

Quranic Prophecy

This Ayah prophesies that the succeeding generations will be blessed with greater capabilities in terms of intellect and knowledge, being epitomized today. Nothing is beyond Allah-SWT's Control and the infidels should not step out of His-SWT ’s obedience. Yet they are not restrained. So let them engage in their fruitless pursuits, and face the Day of Judgment in the same condition, the Day when mankind will rise from their graves and run frantic to gather in the Field of Reckoning, when the eyes of the non believers will be cast down and ignominy stamped on their faces, Only then will they know the Day and the Being that they had been warned about.
