When confronted with truth, do we submit—or do we make excuses?

The Quraysh of Mecca, like many today, believed in Allah—but only in name.

When the Prophet ﷺ called them to implement Allah’s guidance in every aspect of life, they responded with fear:

"If we follow the guidance with you, we will be swept away from our land." (Surah Al-Qasas: 57)

Fear of losing their status, wealth, and security held them back from submitting to the very Lord who sustained them, protected them, and provided for them. They failed to realize that the peace of Mecca, its prosperity, and its trade were not from their intelligence or strength, but from Allah alone.

This fear did not die with them. Today, when Islam calls for true implementation, the same argument is made.
