Sixth Step:
Since human beings and the jinn are capable of infinite evil and exertion, they are infinitely obdurate and rebellious. It is because of this that the Holy Qur’an restrains them from rebellion and insubordination with an eloquence so miraculous, styles so elevated and clear, comparisons and stories so exalted and evident that they cause the universe to tremble.
For example, observe carefully the awesome warning, fearsome threat, and severe restraining in the verses: O you assembly of jinn and men! If you can pass beyond the regions of the heavens and the earth, pass beyond them! [But] you cannot pass beyond them, save by [Allah’s] authority. ❋ Then which of the favours of your Sustainer will you deny? ❋ On you will be sent a flame of fire, and smoke; no succour will you have. They have this meaning: “O men and jinn! If you are not going to obey my commands, come on, pass beyond the bounds of My realms if you are able!” With miraculous eloquence, it smashes the excessively arrogant obstinacy of man and jinn. It proclaims their impotence, and shows just how powerless and wretched they are in relation to the immense grandeur of the sovereignty of dominicality. It is as though it says with the above verse, and the verse, And We have made them missiles to drive away the evil ones:
“O men and jinn, proud and obstinate within your baseness, and obdurate and refractory within your weakness and poverty! How are you so bold as to oppose with your rebellion the commands of a Monarch so Glorious that the stars, moons, and suns obey His commands like soldiers under orders? Through your defiance you contest a Glorious Ruler Who has obedient soldiers so awesome that, if to suppose the impossible your devils could withstand them, they would drive them off with cannonballs the size of mountains. With your ingratitude, you revolt in the realm of a Lord of Glory Who has servants and troops so fearsome, let alone insignificant impotent creatures like you, if you were each infidel enemies the size of mountains or the earth, they would be able to hurl stars, flaming projectiles, and molten metal the size of mountains or the earth at you, and rout you. And you break such a law that those bound by it could if necessary strike your earth in your face, and rain down on you stars like cannonballs the size of your globe.”
Yes, in the Qur’an are important concentrations of forces which arise not from the enemies’ strength, but from reasons like the displaying of majesty and exhibiting the enemy’s wickedness.
Then sometimes it mobilizes against the littlest and weakest thing, the largest and most powerful causes, in order to show its perfect order, infinite justice, vast knowledge, and power of wisdom, and it holds them above it; but does not make them fall upon it or aggress against it. For example, look at this verse, But if you uphold each other against him, truly Allah is his Protector, and Gabriel, and all the righteous among the believers, and furthermore, the angels, will back him up.
How respectful it is concerning the Prophet (UWBP), and how compassionate towards the rights of his wives! This important concentration of forces is only to express compassionately its tremendous respect for the Prophet (UWBP) and the importance of the complaints of two weak beings and the observance of their rights.
