Mocking and Ridiculing God’s Message
7:164 Recall that a group of them said, “Why should you preach to people whom GOD will surely annihilate or punish severely?” They answered, “ Apologize to your Lord,” that they might be saved.
7:165 When they disregarded what they were reminded of, we saved those who prohibited evil, and afflicted the wrongdoers with a terrible retribution for their wickedness.
7:166 When they continued to defy the commandments, we said to them, “Be you despicable apes.”
7:167 Additionally, your Lord has decreed that He will raise up against them people who will inflict severe persecution upon them, until the Day of Resurrection. Your Lord is most efficient in enforcing retribution, and He is certainly the Forgiver, Most Merciful.
