Quran,Translation and Commentary in Brief (Vol. 03)
Verses 10-15Verses 16-18

      This is to give consolation to the Messenger of God and his followers, that before them too, God had sent Messengers among the primeval sects, but they were so obstinate and ignorant that they rejected the apostles, and denied what was clear and perceptible. They even ridiculed and mocked at the prophets, so as to ruin their prestige and render their influence ineffective.

      When they found themselves so weak in knowledge and wisdom, that could not respond and react correctly to the call and action of the Messengers; they resorted to mockery and ridiculous accusations. They could throw dust on the eyes of the common people and lay man, because the prophets lived in poverty, and wore old and patched, though very clean, clothes, while they themselves came out in splendour and glory. They wore magnificent clothes and rode beautiful Arabic horses for show, with slaves and servants in their left and right. They were so plunged in the luxuries and passions, that insisted upon their false and superstitious ideas against the truth that had come to them from their Merciful Lord. In fact, they had destroyed their ship of return and repentance behind themselves, for believing not in God.

      The Arabic, ``SHIAYÄN'' is the plural of SHE-AT which is translated here to, sects. It implies a class, a kind, or a group, of people having a common line of leadership or a distinctive doctrine. In the religion it may mean a follower or a party dissenting from a parent church. It may also mean a religious division. A sect of Islam call themselves the ``SHIITES'', who believe Hazrat Imam Ali (AS) and eleven of his progenies in a direct line, are the real and truthful successors of our prophet.

      The primeval sects were organized bodies who acted against their prophets:ِ

      ``They do not believe and so was the methodical way of the primevals.''

      The unbelievers continued with their falsehood and superstitions, in such an obstinate and determined way, inspite of all the clear signs brought to them; that even if Allah would open a gateway for them to ascend through the skies, they would think that the truth was an illusion, and the reality is mere craft and sorcery. They would therefore say; In our way up to the skies you covered our eyes! And if they make sure that they have really been raised up, they would consider it a sorcery and magic, and will say you have bewitched our whole self!
