It may mean that the fire of Hell is kindled in the self and soul of the guilty people - a fire that consumes both the WORSHIPPERS of the false god, as well as their idols that were made and carved out of stones. Perhaps the fire of punishment mounts right up to the hearts and minds of the sinners - On their very seat of affection, pity, and understanding!

This is also mentioned more clearly in another chapter of the Holy Book, namely HUMAZA (THE SCANDAL MONGER) as follows: ``The fire of Allah, that is kindled and mounted on the hearts.'' QURA"N - S 104: 4-5 Contrary to the fires that are kindled down here, the fires kindled in the life to come, start up in the hearts and minds and come out from in! [ 49 ] WHY DO THE PROPHETS NEED TO BRING MIRACLES?

The prophets should be able to do something extraordinary by bringing miracles that no one else can; to use it as a sign and proof of their truthfulness. In our case the HOLY QURA"N, is the everlasting and eternal miracle of our prophet; apart of his numerous other miracles. This miracle of his is, an everlasting, rational, speaking, international and spiritual one.

Those prophets who were before Mohammad (AS) had to be with their miracles, in order to establish them and to gain full recognition and acceptance for them. But the Holy Qura"n is a permanent and self- explanatory miracle, that needs not to be introduced or established by the prophet. Many hundreds of years after our prophet, the BOOK is remained lively and up to date; as a source of a religion, as a valid law, as a document and reference for commandments, and full of astonishing miracles.

The Holy Book has broken the borders and the walls of time and space, manifested in that very form which the scripture had more than one thousand and four hundreds years ago, shedding the light of truth and knowledge upon our age, as it shed upon the ARABIC PAGAN ERA! Evidently an international and everlasting religion should have a permanent and original document relied upon as a basis, proof, and support, (which is the role that QURA"N has played throughout the history of Islam.

QURA"N'S SPIRITUALITY The miracles of the prophets before Mohammad (AS) were in a material state or manner, such as raising a dead body, or making a baby to speak in the cradle, or curing a deaf or blind. All such miracles had a material source and bed that could be felt or sensed.
