When the chiefs of the people of the Prophet Noah (peace be upon him) had rejected his Prophethood, they had said the same thing: The Quran refutes this erroneous notion of the people of Makkah and says that it is not any new kind of ignorance which these people are displaying, but all the ignorant people since the earliest times have been involved in the misunderstanding that a human being cannot be a messenger and a Messenger cannot be a human being. What, will you then be enticed by this sorcery while you perceive it. (Surah Al-Furqan, Ayat 7).Īnd the unjust people whisper to one another, saying: This man is no more than a human being like yourselves. They say: What sort of a Messenger is he that he eats food and moves about in the streets. They also said: Muhammad cannot be a messenger because he is a man. The same was the view of the disbelievers of Makkah. In other words, what they wanted to say was: Since you are human beings, you cannot be the messengers of God. (36:15) They said: “We have been sent to you as Messengers.” The people of the town said: “You are only human beings like ourselves, and the Merciful Lord has revealed nothing.
