Ash-Shu'araa (The Poets)

103. “Verily in this is a sign but most of them do not believe.”

104. “And verily your Lord is He the Mighty, the Merciful.”

If people do not accept the truth and be obstinate, the great signs of Allah are not effective, for their guidance.

The respite that Allah gives the wrong doers is not done because of weakness and powerlessness, but it is because of Mercy and Grace so that they may return.

Finally, in these verses, the Qur’an refers to the biography of Abraham (as), his speaking with the deviated people, his invocations before Allah, and his explanations about the situation of the Hereafter Day.

As a conclusion for all servants, Allah reiterates the same couple of holy verses, which were mentioned at the end of the story of Moses (as) and Pharaoh, and they are repeated at the end of other prophets’ stories, too, in this Surah.

It says:

“Verily in this is a sign but most of them do not believe.” “And verily your Lord is He the Mighty, the Merciful.”

The repetition of these sentences are counted some effective comfort for the Prophet (S) and the few believers of that time, and also for the believers who are in minority at any time so that they do not fear of the misguided majority and they be assured with the might and mercy of Allah.

It is also a threat for the deviated ones indicating that if they are given respite it is not because of weakness but it is because of His mercy.
