messengers rusulan substitutes for the previous rusulan ‘messengers’ bearing good tidings of reward for those that believe and warning of punishment for those that disbelieve; We sent them so that people might have no argument to make against God after the sending of the messengers to them and say Our Lord why did you not send a messenger to us so that we might follow Your signs and be among the believers Q. 2847; thus We sent them to pre-empt such excuses. God is ever Mighty in His kingdom Wise in His actions.
