The Mockery of the Past: Previous messengers were mocked, but the scoffers were destroyed.
Messengers before the Prophet Muhammad were mocked, but the scoffers were eventually encompassed by the very punishment they ridiculed. **Endure ridicule with patience.** If you face scorn for upholding God's truth, find comfort in the historical fate of those who mocked piety. Patience is the precursor to divine justice.
