Al-Shuara (The Poets)
Chapter 26: Verse 111
The Poor
They said, “Are we to believe in you, even though only the lowest of the low follow you?”
The nobility always speak in a derogative manner about the poor. They say that their habits and values are not acceptable to those who are in the higher echelons of society. They have nothing of their refinements. What Prophet Noah’s people meant was that it was only the poor who followed him.
The poor are normally the first to accept divine messages and messengers. They are quick to believe in God and submit themselves to Him, because they are not deterred by any hollow status or fear of losing any interest or position as a result. The chiefs and nobles of society often fear for their interests that are based on false considerations, as also myths and legends that are given religious status. Moreover, they are unwilling to accept complete equality with the masses as a result of believing in God’s oneness.

35: Who , of His grace , hath installed us in the mansion of eternity , where toil toucheth us not nor can weariness affect us
