Araf 52-53

52- AND WE BROUGHT THEM A BOOK; WE DETAILED ITS KNOWLEDGE THAT IS GUIDANCE AND MERCY TO THE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE.

53- ARE THEY WAITING FOR IT TO COME TRUE?  THE DAY IT COMES TRUE THOSE WHO FORGOT IT BEFOREHAND WILL SAY: “OUR LORD’S MESSENGERS DID COME WITH THE TRUTH, DO WE HAVE INTERCESSORS TO INTERCEDE FOR US? OR WILL WE BE SENT BACK TO DO DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE USED TO DO?”  INDEED THEY LOST THEIR OWN SOULS, AND WILL NOT FIND THE LIES THEY INVENTED.

Allah the Highest sent down the Holy Books, ending with the Quran which details to us everything we need to know about our Faith, life on Earth and Relationship with Allah the Highest.  Allah the Highest also sent prophets and messengers, the last of whom is Mohamed prayer and peace upon him, to further clarify and detail what we should know.

Some of the disbelievers say that they will wait to see if what they are being told is true or not before believing, however if they wait, it will be too late.  This is because:

-         They are not likely to live to the Day of Resurrection.

-         If they live to the day of Resurrection, it will then be too late to believe and to do good deeds.  Allah the Highest said: “WILL THEY WAIT UNTIL THE ANGELS COME TO THEM, OR YOUR LORD COMES OR SOME OF YOUR LORD’S SIGNS COME; THE DAY SOME OF YOUR LORD’S SIGNS COME, NO SOUL WILL BENEFIT FROM ITS BELIEVE, HAVE IT NOT BELIEVED BEFOREHAND OR EARNED WHAT IS GOOD WITH ITS FAITH.  SAY: “WAIT, AND SO WE ARE WAITING”.   (S: 6 A:158)

For then, they will not be able to go back to life in order to believe and to do good deeds.

Also they will not have any one to intercede for them, for the prophets, messengers, martyrs and all those Allah the Highest may allow to intercede will be able to intercede for the believers only.

The realization that the Holy Books and the prophets and messengers told them the truth will then be too late.  They would have lost their souls, which will suffer in the Hereafter.  The lies they invented throughout life and the lies others invented and they believed or followed, will be of no use then either, for the time of belief and deeds will be over, and it will be time for reckoning and judgement.
