Ibn Kathir (Abridged)

The Idolators were amazed at the Message, Tawhid and the Qur'an

Allah tells us that the idolators wondered at the sending of the Messenger of Allah as a bringer of glad tidings and a warner. This is like the Ayah:

أَكَانَ لِلنَّاسِ عَجَبًا أَنْ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَنْ أَنذِرِ النَّاسَ

Chapter 38, Page 453, Juz 23

1. Ṣãd. By the Quran, full of reminders! 2. ˹This is the truth,˺ yet the disbelievers are ˹entrenched˺ in arrogance and opposition. 3. ˹Imagine˺ how many peoples We destroyed before them, and they cried out when it was too late to escape. 4. Now, the pagans are astonished that a warner has come to them from among themselves. And the disbelievers say, “This is a magician, a total liar! 5. Has he reduced ˹all˺ the gods to One God? Indeed, this is something totally astonishing.” 6. The chiefs among them went forth saying, “Carry on, and stand firm in devotion to your gods. Certainly this is just a scheme ˹for power˺. 7. We have never heard of this in the previous faith. This is nothing but a fabrication. 8. Has the Reminder been revealed ˹only˺ to him out of ˹all of˺ us?” In fact, they are ˹only˺ in doubt of My ˹revealed˺ Reminder. In fact, ˹they do so because˺ they have not yet tasted My punishment. 9. Or ˹is it because˺ they possess the treasuries of the mercy of your Lord—the Almighty, the Giver ˹of all bounties˺. 10. Or ˹is it because˺ the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and everything in between belongs to them? Let them then climb their way ˹to heaven, if their claim is true˺. 11. This is just another ˹enemy˺ force bound for defeat out there. 12. Before them, the people of Noah denied ˹the truth˺, as did ’Âd, Pharaoh of the mighty structures, 13. Thamûd, the people of Lot, and the residents of the Forest. These were ˹all˺ enemy forces. 14. Each rejected their messenger, so My punishment was justified.
