When the oppressed disbelievers blame the arrogant disbelievers in the Hereafter!
What will Allah put on the necks of the disbelievers on the Day of Judgment?
When the lowly people curse the too proud disbelievers on the Day of Judgment
—————————————————
In the Noble Quran, Allah is asking mankind some important questions.
It seems compulsory for the serious one who is looking for the truth to have a look at those questions and if possible to answer them.
Allah’ questions are many. In this series, these questions are chosen randomly.
—————————————————
In verses 34:31-34 of the Noble Quran, Allah asks mankind this question:
Are they requited on the Day of Judgment aught save what they used to do in the life of this world? The disbelievers will be brought up to stand before their Lord, restrained on the Day of Judgment, bandying arguments against one another.
Allah did not send a Messenger to the inhabitants of any township without its leaders saying, ‘Indeed we disbelieve in that Message with which you have been sent’

Verses 34:31-34 give the question of this article and talk about it
Verse 34:31 says:
And those who disbelieve say, ‘we will not believe in this Quran, which Muhammad recite unto us nor do we believe in any of the Scriptures revealed before him: because they reject the truth. God, exalted be He, says of them: But if you were to see, O Muhammad, when the wrong-doers, the disbelievers, are brought up to stand before their Lord, restrained on the Day of Judgment, bandying arguments against one another. Those who were oppressed — the followers — will say to those who were arrogant — the leaders: ‘Had it not been for you, barring us from faith, we would have been believers’, in the Prophet.
In other words, how they cast the blame one to another; they argue with each other and curse one another; how those who were oppressed in the earth, these are the lowly among people say unto those who were proud, too proud to accept faith: i.e. the leaders: But for you, we should have been believers in Muhammad and in the Quran.
Verse 34:32 says:
Those who were arrogant, too proud to accept faith, i.e. the leader will say to those who were oppressed, i.e. the lowly people:
Did we drive you away; did we bar you from the guidance, from faith after it had come unto you? Nay! Rather you were guilty’, of your own accord.
Verse 34:33 says:
Those who were oppressed, who are the lowly among people say unto those who were too proud their leaders:
Nay but (it was your) scheming night and day, i.e., all the time, it is what you said to us by day and night, (when you commanded us to disbelieve in Allah, when you told us to disbelieve in Muhammad and in the Quran and set up partners with Him’.
[This is like what the western media say all the time about Muhammad and the Quran; and the oppressed follow that media without reading the Quran!]
And they are filled with remorse, both the leaders and those who obeyed them when they behold the doom; and Allah will put shackles on the necks of those who disbelieved in Muhammad and in the Quran. Their hands were tied to their necks.
He says: Are they requited on the Day of Judgment aught save what they used to do in the life of this world?
Verse 34:34 says:
And Allah did not send a Warner (Messenger) to the inhabitants of any township without its affluent ones, its leaders, those enjoying life’s comforts, saying, ‘Indeed we disbelieve in that Message with which you have been sent’; Lo! We are disbelievers in that which ye bring unto us; we deny what you brought us.

32) Then, those who were proud will say to those who were abased, ‘was it we who barred you from the guidance after it had come to you? No, you yourselves were sinners. ‘
33) Those that were abased will say to those who were proud: ‘rather, it was scheming night and day, when you ordered us to disbelieve in Allah and set up equals to him. ‘ and they will regret in secret when they see the punishment and we put (iron) fetters on the necks of the unbelievers. shall they be recompensed except for what they were doing?

It was a plot (of yours) by day and by night: behold! ye (constantly) ordered us to be ungrateful to Allah and to attribute equals to him!” they will declare (their) repentance when they see the penalty: we shall put yokes on the necks of the unbelievers: it would only be a requital for their (ill) deeds.
34) Never did we send a Warner to a population, but the wealthy ones among them said: “we believe not in the (message) with which ye have been sent.”
