> And thus We have made for every prophet an enemy - devils from mankind and jinn, inspiring to one another decorative speech in delusion. But if your Lord had willed, they would not have done it, so leave them and that which they invent. -- Qur'an 6:112 (with other translations at Islam Awakened ) According to this verse, every Prophet has some God-assigned enemy from either mankind or jinn. I'm wondering if we know who Prophet Muhammad's enemy is. **Question**: Who is Prophet Muhammad's enemy mentioned in Qur'an 6:112?

This question relates to the verse: > And **We send not the messengers except as bringers of good tidings** and warners. So whoever believes and reforms - there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.
> Qur'an 6:48 It's easy to find examples of warnings in the Qur'an, but I'm wondering about these "good tidings". **Question**: What is an example of the "good tidings" brought by Islamic messengers?

> Say, [O Muhammad], "**I do not tell you** that I have the depositories [containing the provision] of Allah or **that I know the unseen**, nor do I tell you that I am an angel. I only follow what is revealed to me." Say, "Is the blind equivalent to the seeing? Then will you not give thought?"
> Qur'an 6:50 The Prophet Muhammad is aware of many things which are unavailable to the rest of humanity. For example, *I looked at Paradise and saw that the majority of its residents were the poor; and I looked at the (Hell) Fire and saw that the majority of its residents were women* (Sahih al-Bukhari 5198 ). As far as I know, not even any other prophet had this knowledge. I found this tafsir: > This verse was revealed about Abu Jahl and his companions al-Nadr Ibn al-Harith and 'Uyaynah, and then it was revealed about the clients.
> Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs This indicates there's something specific which was unseen to the Prophet at the time the verse was revealed. **Question**: What was unseen when Qur'an 6:50 was revealed?

> And to those who are Jews We prohibited every animal of uncloven hoof; and of the cattle and the sheep We prohibited to them their fat, except what adheres to their backs or the entrails or what is joined with bone. **[By] that We repaid them for their injustice.** And indeed, We are truthful. -- Qur'an 6:146 I'm wondering how this is compatible with "no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another" (Qur'an 35:18 ). It looks like these Jews are bearing the burdens of prior Jews. **Question**: How is Qur'an 6:146, where Jews are prohibited from certain foods, compatible with "no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another"? It's not on the list of abrogated ayat . I searched tafsir at altafsir.com , but found nothing that helps answer this question.

Some translations of Qur'an 6:26 say: > Others they keep away from it, and themselves they keep away; but they only destroy their own souls, and they perceive it not. -- Yusuf Ali (Saudi Rev. 1985) and words to that effect. This suggests two things: 1. That people can be kept away from Islam by others. 2. The others are the only ones punished. This seems to imply that people kept away from Islam are blameless. I'm wondering if this is a correct interpretation. **Question**: Does Qur'an 6:26 imply that someone kept away from Islam is blameless? This tafsir gives some more context and history: > (And they) Abu Jahl and his folk (forbid (men) from it) from Muhammad and the Qur'an (and avoid it) prevent people from it and steer away from it; it is also said that this relates to Abu Talib [the Prophet's uncle] who used to warn against harming the Prophet (pbuh) even though he did not accept his message, (and they ruin none save themselves, though they perceive not) they do not realise that they carry the same sins of the men they are warning. -- Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs > > ... Said Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah , al-Suddi and al-Dahhak : “This was revealed about the unbelievers of Mecca. They used to forbid people from following Muhammad, Allah bless him and give him peace, and they themselves stayed away from him”. ... -- Asbab Al-Nuzul by Al-Wahidi This may mean the context is limited to the time of the Prophet. However, it's not clear as to what happens to those kept away from Islam.

>[And there is no creature on [or within] the earth or bird that flies with its wings except [that they are] communities like you. We have not neglected in the Register a thing. Then unto their Lord they will be gathered.](http://tanzil.net/#6:38) [6:38] Does the *"creature"* mentioned above include the both jinns and angels or either? Taking *"creature"* literally i.e.: > [something created either animate or inanimate: as ...c: a being of anomalous or uncertain aspect or nature](http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/creature) then I think they would. But would that be in agreement with the Islamic perspective?
