[10]. I.e., the Qur’an, protected by Allāh from any distortion or alteration.
[11]. When people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Allāh 'God'. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before. If you are not familiar with the history of the prophets, you will not do well when you suffer any kind of slander or persecution in Allah’s Cause.
[12]. The Qur’an includes both curing and healing. Curing wounds, fevers, and diseases. But to become part of the Qur’an, part of the community of God’s people, part of the mosque's people. That is healing. Healing is hard work. It means being open to Islam, God's true religion. It means being open to Allāh 'God'. It means, first and foremost, acknowledging that you need Allāh. Healing means learning to live with what can’t be cured. Sometimes, healing means accepting that things can’t be fixed, and accepting that you are a beloved servant of God even still. Healing also means reaching out to other people. Even the people you don’t want to. It means building community and love and acceptance even with people you don’t like or understand. It means being willing to be honest, even if that means facing the parts of yourself and others that aren’t so nice. But there can be healing even in the midst of pain, and grief, and illness. There can be love and renewal even in the midst of brokenness. There can be hope in the midst of loss. There can be community even when the world tries to isolate us. And when we reach out, when we comfort people who are sick, and bring food to those who are hungry, and are willing to be honest and compassionate with ourselves and others, and be there for people even when there’s no quick fix or easy answer; when we do that, we are part of God’s healing. We are God’s 'hands' in the world.
[13]. So they neither hear the call nor understand it.
