"And the ignorant said...

"And the ignorant said: ‘Why does Allah not speak to us or a Sign comes not to us?' Even thus said those before them, the like of what they say; their hearts are all alike. Indeed We have made clear the Signs to people who are sure." 119.

"Verily, We have sent you (O' Muhammad) with the truth as a bearer of glad tidings and a warner and you shall not be questioned about the inhabitants of the Blazing Fire." Another Pretext Similar to the pretexts of the Jews, in the initial verses of the above group of verses, another party of pretext-seekers are referred to, whom, apparently, were the Arab pagans.

It says: "And the ignorant said: ‘Why does Allah not speak to us or a Sign comes not to us?'…" This group of unbelieving people, whom the Qur'an has referred, to as / allaŎina la ya'lamuna / 'the ignorant' had, indeed, two illogical demands: Why does Allah not speak to them? Why does sign not come to them? In answer to these selfish demands, the Qur'an says: “...Even thus said those before them, the like of what they say; their hearts are all alike.

Indeed We have made clear the Signs to people who are sure." If they truly intend to understand the Truth, these very verses revealed to the Prophet (S) are clear Signs to the rightfulness of his Call. Why should some verses be independently and directly revealed to each individual separately? And, what does it mean that a person insists that Allah must speak to him, himself, directly?

A similar idea to this is also stated in Surah Al-Muddaththir, No.74 verse 52 thus: "For sure, each one of them wants to be given scrolls (of revelation) spread out!" This manner, in principle, besides that it is not necessary, contrasts with Divine Wisdom, because firstly, the rightfulness of the prophethood of prophets has been proved to all peoples by way of the verses which were revealed to them themselves.

Secondly, it is not possible for verses and miracles to be revealed to every individual, for this need a special kind of eligibility, preparation, and purity of soul. It closely resembles to a situation in which all the wires of the vast electrical system of a city (the strong thick wires and the very thin ones) be expected to receive the same extraordinarily high amount of electricity that immediately arrives into the initial thick wires directly from the main generator.

This expectation is certainly a vain, incorrect expectation.
