Here again reference is made to another symptom of the believers and the unbelievers:ِ

      When a chapter of Qurän is sent down, and it is supposed to increase the faith of Muslims, (as it is mentioned elsewhere in the Book) some of the unbelievers mock at the revelation and say:ِ ``Did it increase any of you in faith?''

      By that, they wanted to prove ineffectiveness for the revelation in order to lower and reduce its importance in the sights! But indeed the verses did affect the hearts of both of the parties, by increasing the faith of one and decreasing that of the other.

      The unbelievers and hypocrites who were spiritually sick in heart, got more doubts by the verses in their heart and eventually they died faithless and doubtful.

      On the other hand, the believers were happy and rejoiced in having new message and truthful guidance from their Lord. The new revelation served to increase their faith as well as their gratitude and thankfulness.

      This implies that a good programme, and knowledge, and know how, alone is not enough to make a man prosperous or to lead him to salvation. In him there must exist a readiness and a willing background for the important change.

      The word of God is just like the rain that makes a land with necessary merits productive, while it spoils the seeds sown in a salty and unprepared land. Or its likness is the likeness of the sun light which gives the healthy eyes vision and more enlightment, and causes more pain in a diseased eye.

      The pious and thoughtful people may take new lessons out of every verse or every word of Allah, but the thoughtless evil- doer may add more obstinacy to theirs, by reading the same chapter or verses!

      The Arabic, ``REJS'' which can be translated to; ``UNCLEANNESS'' or ``ABOMINATION'' is the inevitable fruit of hypocrisy and unbelief. It will cause a feeling of disgust hatred, doubt, or other shamefully vile characters.

      The verse also implies that the foremost Muslims were infused with new life and energy by reciting the verses of the glorious Qurän, but now we see that our contaminated thought and mind, prevents us from getting the life giving light. The mirror of our heart has been covered with rust and dust, and reflects not the Divine light and we can't see the beautiful face of truth in the mirror.

      We seek refuge in Allah from the obscurity of our hearts that lets not the word of God and the Divine light penetrate in us!
