GOD’S GUARANTEE

Quran emphasizes the importance of calling people to God and leaving the punishment of mockers to Himself. The Quran states, “Proclaim openly what you are commanded and turn away from the polytheists. We will surely suffice you against the mockers, those who associate others with God. They will soon know. We know indeed that your heart is distressed at what they say. But glorify the praises of your Lord, and be of those who prostrate themselves, and worship your Lord until the certainty [of death] comes to you.” (15:94-99) According to Ibn Kathir’s interpretation, the Commentators explain that the Prophet of Islam is commanded to convey the revelations from his Lord to the people and to avoid those polytheists who aim to hinder his communication. God reassures the Prophet, saying, “Do not be afraid of them. God is sufficient for you, and He will protect you from them” (Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Vol. 4, p. 473). In summary, the Quran encourages the Prophet and his followers to continue conveying the message of Islam despite the mockery and opposition they face, trusting in God’s sufficiency and protection. The focus should be on worshipping and glorifying God, leaving the punishment of mockers to God’s wisdom and judgment. The Quran makes it clear that in such situations, the method of the caller to God (dayee) should be one of avoidance rather than responding similarly. The caller should focus solely on conveying the message, and if the invitee reacts negatively or mocks, the dayee should not engage in
