Since this person is involved in jealousy and arrogance he strives to falsify the truth. Diseases like selfish desires, jealousy and arrogance compel him to avoid defeat by accepting truth and he finds excuses for it. He recognizes the truth. He knows that truth is such a kind adviser that desires nothing other than his well-being. It advises him for his own good, but his self does not like these advices. So he fights the truth and does not accept its advice.
Irreligious People Disbelief of most irreligious people is of this kind. Their conscience believes in the existence of Allah and also accepts the Day of recompense. How can their conscience agree that this vast universe came into being without a creator? Their inner feelings testify that there exists a being that is Wise, Powerful, Hearing and Seeing. Conscience does not accept that man will be annihilated after death.
It cannot believe that this life of a few days and this toy world is the permanent abode of man. It is mentioned in the biography of Stalin that, “When he found some difficult political problem that he could not solve, he used to be very agitated. He used to go to the grave of Lenin and seek his help. Ultimately he used to find a solution.” This was despite the fact that Stalin did not believe in religion and Hereafter.
But his nature and conscience knew that spirit is not annihilated even after death. Yes! Man knows that if he accepts that truth he would have to obey the religious commandments. He shall be reining his desires due to the fear of Allah and the Day of recompense. He would have to be careful in word and deed. He will lose the freedom of his selfish desires. That is why he does not desire to submit to the truth.
He designs baseless objections and satanic excuses and becomes happy by falsifying the truth. Such people are mentioned in the following words in the Quran, And they denied them unjustly and proudly while their soul had been convinced of them **.**[^6] Infidels of Mecca and Jews of Medina Same was the case of the Meccan infidels. They knew Muhammad Ibne Abdullah very well. They were certain that he was truthful and sane, and that the Holy Quran was not the speech of a mortal.
But pride, arrogance and jealousy instigated them to deny the Prophet. They heaped false allegations upon him that he was a liar, a magician and a mad man. They opposed him and fought battles with him. The Jews of Medina were also like that.
