The greater the blessings, the tougher the accountability

When the disciples of Isa (AS) requested a table spread with food from heaven, Allah responded, 'Indeed, I will send it down to you, but whoever disbelieves afterwards from among you ' then indeed will I punish him with a punishment by which I have not punished anyone among the worlds.' (5:115) As the miracle was extraordinary, disbelieving in it would result in the toughest accountability. The same divine law applies to Allah’s other favours; those blessed with the most perfect guidance, in the form of the Quran, will be most answerable for their deeds. Similarly, those enjoying the greatest wealth, but reluctant to share it with the needy, will be most punishable with regard to their possessions.
