And this fact that he is caller to thinking itself is an indication to his utmost wisdom and perspicacity. 8- The sentence saying: “…he is only a Warner to you…” summarizes the messengership of the Prophet of Islam (S) in the subject of ‘warning’, that is, to give warning unto people concerning the responsibilities and the court and retribution of Allah. It is true that the Prophet has the messengership of glad tiding, too, but that which mostly makes man move is ‘warning’.

So, in some other verses of the Qur’an, ‘giving warning’ has been mentioned as the only duty of the Prophet (S); such as Surah Al-Ahqaf, No. 46, verse 9 which says: “…and I am not but an open Warner.” The like of this meaning is recited in Surah Sad, No. 38, verse 65, as well as in other verses, too.

9- The application of the Qur’anic sentence: “…before a severe chastisement” points to this meaning that Hereafter is so nigh that as if it is in front of you; and verily, in comparison with the life-time of this world it is so, too. This meaning has also been referred to in a few Islamic narrations.

The holy Prophet (S) said: “My appointment (to prophecy) and the establishment of Hereafter are like these two; (then he put his fore-finger and his middle finger with together and showed the audience).” [^1] Thus, how is it possible that our religion like Islam be a means of stupefaction or be resulted by ignorance, while its bringer addresses all human beings, in its best form, and says that they mobilize for enlivening the asleep thoughts, in a quiet environment which is empty of any tumult.

It must be in an environment far from sensual desires, and poisonous atmosphere of propaganda. It should be far from bigotries and aloof from obstinacies. You must rise for the sake of Allah, and contemplate only for Him. This is the only admonition of the Prophet (S) to you, and nothing else. Is not this laughable that such a religion, that has repeated this very invitation both here and in many other instances, be accused to stupefaction of thoughts?

In particular that he says to you to contemplate not only in solitude and individually, but also you may ponder two by two and with the help of each other. You must hearken to the content of the invitation of the divine prophets, study their reasoning and if they adapt to wisdom, you accept it.
