إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا وَمَا نَحْنُ لَهُۥ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ
Commentary:
The present and the preceding five verses contain the objections which disbelievers have always raised against God’s Messengers and these exactly were the objections which Noah’s opponents had raised against him, and which, in fact, were raised against every Prophet, viz. "There is no life after death; men live and die and are followed by others; this is how the world has gone on and how life will continue; it is foolish to give up the time-honoured beliefs of our forefathers and accept the leadership of a man who is in no way superior to us and is subject to all the weaknesses and frailties to which human flesh is heir and who has invented some stories, seeking in this way to impose his leadership upon us."
