We know best about that which they wish to hear when they seek to hear you, and when they have secret talks when the unjust say, “” You follow none except a man under the influence of magic.””
The unjust and those who are astray say that prophet Muhammed (PBH) was under the influence of magic. These verses and Chapter:25 Verses 8–9 clearly prove that Prophet Muhammed (PBH) was never under the influence of magic.

And they say, “”What! when we become bones and powder, will we be raised (as) a new creation?””
Those who are doubtful about life after death are informed that in whatever material or form they are converted after their death, they will be raised alive.

And say to My servants, “”Speak that which is the best,”” the devil certainly instigates (evil) between them. The devil is certainly an open enemy of man.
Sometimes we misunderstand people due to their objectionable style of talking, which is due to the instigations of the devil to cause discord among human beings. We are therefore advised to speak to people in a very decent manner.

Your Fosterer knows best about you, If He wills he will have mercy on you and if He wills He will punish you, and We have not sent you as a trustee over them.

Say, “”Pray to those whom you claim (to be gods) besides Him, they do not have the power to remove (any) harm from you nor (even) to change (it).””
