Their Messengers said to them: Indeed, we are but human beings like yourselves, but Allah bestows His favour upon whomever He w ills o f His slaves...)» (Ibraheem 14: 10-11)

They stated that this was the blessing and favour o f Allah, and they had no right to put restrictions on Allah or object to Him for bestowing His favour on them.

What false basis did the people of Noah use to raise objections about the sending of angels as messengers?

• They believed that angels could not address humans directly

• They claimed that Allah's will was not sufficient.

• It is not mentioned in the passage.

• They claimed that Allah's will was not sufficient.

Answer explanation

In this case, the people of Nooh said: ([If Allah had so willed, He could have sent down angels [as messengers])».

They used the concept of the divine will to raise objections on a false basis. Although Allah could have sent down angels as messengers if He had so willed, He is Most Wise, Most Merciful, and His wisdom and mercy dictate that the Messenger should be human, because humans cannot be directly addressed by angels, and an angel could only have appeared to them in the form of a man, in which case they would have become confused and raised the same objections again.

According to the passage, what was the response to the people's objection about not hearing of messengers from their forefathers?

• The people's forefathers were guided, so there was no need for messengers.

• The people's forefathers were not guided, so they should praise and thank Allah.

• It is not mentioned in the passage.

• Both a and b.

Answer explanation

«(We have never heard of such a thing)» namely the sending of a Messenger «(from our forefathers).

What proof is there in the fact that they never heard of the sending of a Messenger to their forefathers? For they do not have full knowledge of what happened in the past, so they should not make that ignorance the basis of their argument.

Even if we assume that no Messenger was sent to their forefathers, either their forefathers were guided, so there was no need for a Messenger at that time, or they were not guided, so let them praise their Lord. and give thanks to Him for singling them out for a blessing that did not come to their forefathers, and they were never aware of it. They should not let the fact that a blessing did not reach others be a cause of ingratitude for a favour bestowed upon them.

What lesson can be learned from the passage?
