36 Preface فَبِأَيِّ آلاءِ رَبِّكُما تُكَذِّبانِYusuf AliThen which of the favours1 of your Lord will ye deny?Here and in some of the verses that follow, (verses 40, 42, and 45 below), the refrain applies with an ironical meaning. It is as if it was said: 'You used to laugh at Revelation, and at the warnings which were given for your own benefit in order to draw you to repentance and God’s Mercy; what do you find now? Is not all that was said to you true?' To reject God’s Law is in itself to deny God’s Mercies.
