The argument still goes on with the hypocrites and infidels: Every year at least once or twice they were tried by various trials, such as afflictions, miracles issued by the prophet, and clear signs and reasons, through which they could see the hands of God, but they paid no heed to it, and took no lesson from the incidents.

      Inspite of all their blasphemies, the doors of God's Grace and Mercy was kept open to them through such trials, but they deliberately ignored the chances of rescue, and continued with their disobedience and contumacy.

      Whenever a chapter of Qurän was sent down and the prophet began to recite it to the audience, they looked down upon it with disfavour or contempt, by having a glance around them, saying:ِ ``Does anyone see you?'' and leaving the assembly of the holy prophet.

      The reason and cause of their contumacy was that God had turned their heart from the truth, for being ignorant and paying no heed to the warnings. So their obstinate resistance and lack of knowledge and understanding, deprived them of God's Grace and His light of guidance.
