Those ˹are the same people˺ who say, “Allah has commanded us not to believe in any messenger unless he brings us an offering to be consumed by fire ˹from the sky˺.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Other prophets did in fact come to you1 before me with clear proofs and ˹even˺ what you demanded—why then did you kill them, if what you say is true?”
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
