The revelation about them is recited: “And those who disbelieved said: Do not listen to this Qur’an...” (Surah Fussilat, No. 41, verse 26) Some of these obstinate persons listen and understand it, but they distort it. Some others have not the ability of discrimination because of their innate extra attachments, envies, enmities and callous nesses.

“O you who have Faith! Answer Allah and the Messenger when he invites you to that which gives you life, and know that Allah intervenes between a man and his heart, and that unto Him you shall be gathered.”*** There are different kinds of life: 1- Vegetal life: “...Allah gives life to the earth after its death...” (Surah Al-Hadid, No. 57, verse 17) 2- Animal life: “...the giver of life to the dead...” (Surah Fussilat, No.

41, verse 39) 3- Mental life: “...who was dead then We raised him to life...” (Surah Al- An’am, No. 6, verse 122) 4- Eternal life: “...O! would that I had sent before for (this) my life!” (Surah Al-Fajr, No. 89, verse 24) The purpose of the life, which comes into being by the acceptance of the invitation of prophets, is not the animal life, since without the effects and affluence of prophets this sort of life exists, too.

However, the acceptance of the Prophet's invitation is the same as the acceptance of Allah's invitation; and the real life of man lies in Faith and righteous deed, to which prophets have invited, too. The verse says: “O you have Faith!
