The Idolators of Every Nation made a Mockery of their Messengers

Consoling His Messenger for the rejection of the disbelieving Quraysh, Allah says that He has sent Messengers before him to the nations of the past, and no Messenger came to a nation but they rejected him and mocked him. Then He tells him that He lets disbelief enter the hearts of those sinners who are too stubborn and too arrogant to follow His guidance.

كَذَلِكَ نَسْلُكُهُ فِى قُلُوبِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ

(Thus We allow it to enter the hearts of the guilty.) Anas and Al-Hasan Al-Basri said that this referred to Shirk.

وَقَدْ خَلَتْ سُنَّةُ الاٌّوَّلِينَ

(and already the example of the ancients has gone forth.) meaning the destruction wrought by Allah on those who rejected His Messengers, and how He saved His Prophets and their followers in this world and in the Hereafter, is well known.

Напоминание - это Священный Коран, в котором ниспосланы правдивые повествования обо всем сущем и ясные свидетельства. Их достаточно для каждого, кто желает послушать напоминание или наставление. Всевышний оберегал коранические откровения, когда они ниспосылались на землю, и всегда будет оберегать их. Когда откровения ниспосылались, их оберегали от побиваемых камнями дьяволов. А когда их ниспослание завершилось, Всевышний Аллах поместил Свое писание в сердца Своего посланника и его верных последователей, оберегая его текст от любых искажений, добавлений и убавлений, а его смысл - от ошибочных толкований. И стоит кому-либо исказить смысл коранических аятов, как Всевышний Аллах отправляет того, кто разъясняет людям непреложную истину. Это является одним из величайших знамений Господа и Его величайшей милостью по отношению к правоверным рабам. А еще одним проявлением Божьей заботы о Священном Коране является поддержка, которую Аллах оказывает истинным приверженцам Корана в борьбе с их противниками. Аллах оберегает их от врагов и не позволяет врагам искоренить поборников истины.

A Lexical Note of Explanation

The word: اَلشِيَعِ in the first verse (10) is the plural form of: شِیعہ (shah) which means the follower or helper of a person. Then, it is also used to denote a group which agrees upon particular beliefs and theoretical assumptions. So, the sense of the statement is that Allah Ta’ ala has sent messengers among every group or sect. Here, by using the word: فِی in فِي شِيَعِ الْأَوَّلِينَ ( in place of اِلٰی : ila: to (translated as 'among the groups of earlier peoples' ), the hint given is that the messenger for every group was sent from among that particular group so that people would find it easy to trust him, and that he too, by being aware of their taste and temperament, could make appropriate plans to work for their reform.
