Those who reject the Qur’ān

The Qur’ān describes vividly the predicament of those who stubbornly reject its claim to Truth. Their intellectual dilemma is pathetic to behold, and the fate which awaits them is terrible indeed. The response of the Qur’ān sends a chill through their spines: 

<<< Nay, verily, it is against Our messages that he knowingly, stubbornly sets himself [and so] I shall constrain him to endure a painful uphill climb!   

Behold, [when the verses of this Qur’ān are conveyed to one who is bent on denying the truth,] he reflects and meditates [as to how to disprove them] 

And thus he destroys himself, the way he meditates:  

Yea, he destroys himself, the way he meditates!   

And then he looks [around for new arguments],   

And then he frowns and glares,  

And in the end he turns his back [on this Qur’ān], and glories in his arrogance,  

And says,  "All this is mere spellbinding eloquence handed down [from olden times]!  

This is nothing but the word of mortal man!" 

[Hence,] I shall cause him to endure hell-fire [in the life to come]!  

And what could make you conceive what hell-fire is?  

Neither does it let (him) live, nor does it let (him) die,  

Thus does it make [the truth concerning the status of this Qur’ān] visible to mortal man. >>>

(Qur’ān, al-Mudaththar, 74:16-29)
