Sura 43
Aya 24
24
۞ قالَ أَوَلَو جِئتُكُم بِأَهدىٰ مِمّا وَجَدتُم عَلَيهِ آباءَكُم ۖ قالوا إِنّا بِما أُرسِلتُم بِهِ كافِرونَ

Ali Unal

He (who was sent to warn them) said: “What! Even though I have come to you with better guidance1 than what you have found your forefathers following?” They said: “Surely we are unbelievers in that with which you have been sent.”
  • The Religion with which any Messenger came was completely true and the best in guidance, while any religion or faith based on associating partners with God or denial of Him is essentially false and devoid of any guidance. However, there may be some true elements in any false religion or doctrine. So the reason why the warners used better guidance was both by way of argumentation and persuasion, as well as referring to those elements of truth that can be found in any religion.
