"Verily, man is in indeed an extreme wrongdoer, a disbeliever (an extreme ingrate who denies Allah's Blessings by disbelief and by disobeying Allah and his Prophet, Muhammad)."
(Qur'an: Translation of the meaning, 14:34)
"Verily, man is indeed a manifest ingrate!" (Qur'an: Translation of the meaning, 14:34)
(Qur'an: Translation of the meaning, 43:15)
"Be cursed (disbelieving) man! How ungrateful he is!"
(Qur'an: Translation of the meaning, 80:17)
Disbelief and oppression are some of the most common traits of mankind. Unless Allah's Mercy is graced upon men they cannot fight these traits. First of all man becomes unfair to his own self by committing sins like association of others with Allah. Therefore we inherited this invocation to seek protection against such self oppression:
"O Allah, I have been unfair to myself so much, but none can forgive sins, but you can, so forgive me and be merciful on me as you are All-Forgiving All-Merciful." "And if you obey most of those on the earth, they will mislead you far away from Allah's Path. They follow nothing but conjectures, and they do nothing but lie".
(Qur'an: Translation of the meaning, 6:116)
"And most of mankind will not believe even if you desire to eagerly."
(Qur'an: Translation of the meaning, 12:103)
The forgiven believers compared to the disbelievers look like a white hair n the hide of a black ox. It has been also been said that from every one hundred persons, ninety nine persons will go to Hell. May Allah keep us steadfast as believers and give us righteousness and guidance.
