In a threatening language the verses address the unbelievers and polytheists that, what do they expect to meet? Are they waiting for the angels of death to come to overtake their souls, giving an end to their foolish endeavours and injurious attempts? Or are they waiting for Allah's command for their punishment to be issued? In other word; they wait doing nothing for their own good until death seizes them, or some punishment in this life touches them, so that they lose all their chances of return, and opportunities of repentance.
Those who lived before them also did the same things till they met their doom, while God did not oppress them the least, but they themselves were oppressing. They only got the natural results of their own deeds, and the reaction of their actions. So the bad consequences of their evil deeds afflicted them!
The next verse (NO.35) points at another weak and baseless objections of the polytheists, who say; had Allah willed we would not have worshipped anything apart from Him; nor would we have forbidden anything without His permission, such as our taboos.
This is an out of date reasoning that has been circulated throughout time an space in ages. Some of the weak minded sinners say:ِ ``Why did not God force all His servant to worship him alone, and to follow His direction?''
Such an assertion denies Man's limited Free-Will, which is the foundation of ethics. Violating the laws and regulations of Free-Will, is against the general plan of God for Man's life and results. On the other hand; the duty of a prophet is to announce their Messages openly, and to convey. Then it is up to the people to accept or reject the call according to their Free-Will.
The Main object of all the prophet's mission and message is, to worship none but the only one true God....the Creator of the whole universe whom they call Allah. And secondly, not to follow the evil ways of rebellion and resistance against God's Law and plans. In other word, be not insolent nor follow the insolent.
Those who move and work against the natural laws, and reject the religious Laws that God has legislated for Man, and close their inner eye and ear on the prophet's call, they themselves are the main cause of their misery and misfortune, and even if a prophet be much eager to guide them, that eagerness will be of no use to them, because a water well should gush forth from the bottom. Therefore our prophet is addressed here by the last verse (NO.37) saying:ِ
``If you are so eager for their guidance, know that Allah will not guide him who deserves to be left to stray; and such people will have no one to help them.''
