Yet verily it is not you (that) they belie...
Yet verily it is not you (that) they belie, but the unjust deny the Signs of Allah." It is cited in the occasion of revelation of this verse that the enemies of the Prophet (S) knew him as truthful and trustworthy person. But they said if they confirmed him, their tribe and their rank would be despised. Or, they said that Muhammad (S) was truthful, but he imagined that he was revealed to. They rejected the divine verses in such manner.
Rejecting the Prophet (S) is the same as rejecting Allah (S.w.T.) . It is similar to the allegiance with the Prophet (S) that is allegiance with Allah*.* The opponents of the Prophet (S) are adversaries of Allah*.* Thus, we should not be sorry. The fruit of rejecting the Divine verses and the saints of Allah is being unjust both to themselves that they do not believe in the truth, and to the Messenger of Allah that they grieve him (S), and to Islam, and to generations.
"Messengers indeed have been denied before you, but they were patient on being denied and hurt, until Our help came unto them; and there is none to change the words of Allah, and certainly there has come to you some information about the messengers." The former prophets and their patience should be our models.
The destruction of old nations such as: the people of Hud, the people of Salih, the people of Lut and some others, who belied the truth, should be taken an example of Allah’s way of treatment is to send messengers, and people are free to accept them or not. Then, He punishes the disbelievers and assists the messengers in their way of invitation.
"Messengers indeed have been denied before you, but they were patient on being denied and hurt, until Our help came unto them....." It is certain that the opponents neglect no effort against the Truth. They belie it and hurt, but Truth is always victorious.[^7] Moreover, Allah’s way of treatment is not changeable. "...
and there is none to change the words of Allah, and certainly there has come to you some information about the messengers." The Qur'anic term /kalimat/, mentioned in the holy verse, means 'Allah’s way of treatment'.
