بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
قُلْ أَفَغَيْرَ اللَّهِ تَأْمُرُونِّي أَعْبُدُ أَيُّهَا الْجَاهِلُونَ (64) وَلَقَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ وَإِلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكَ لَئِنْ أَشْرَكْتَ لَيَحْبَطَنَّ عَمَلُكَ وَلَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ (65)
When the infidels of Quraish were unable to stop Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) from calling people to Islam, and as Islam was spreading every day, they decided to come the Messenger (pbuh) and making him an offer.
They came to intention of temptation of the Prophet with wealth, as they didn’t know to who they should talk to instead. They said to Him: “O Mohammed, if you wanted money, we’d give you money and become the riches person among us in Makkah, If you wanted kingdom, we’d make you a king on us, if you wanted a wife, we’d make you marry the most beautiful ones among our women”.
They offered him to give him whatever he asks for, but for the sake that he stops calling people to Islam.
Then Allah (swt) revealed Ayat responding to Quraish:
قُلْ أَفَغَيْرَ اللَّهِ تَأْمُرُونِّي أَعْبُدُ أَيُّهَا الْجَاهِلُونَ (64) وَلَقَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ وَإِلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكَ لَئِنْ أَشْرَكْتَ لَيَحْبَطَنَّ عَمَلُكَ وَلَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ (65)
- Surat Al Zumer – Aya 64 – 65
