"Do the people think they will be left to say, 'We believe' without being put to the test?" 29:2. Thus, God will effect His formidable test to sift away the disbelievers and distinguish the true believers. The true believers will remain on Gods path to the very end; they will not, by Gods grace, drop out. MESSENGER OP GOD We know from the Qur'an that messengers were never popular.
