God gave the Wicked Zionists a large number of miracles in the past, yet they substituted with ungratefulness the God's blessing .. so instead of believing in God's revelations in the Quran, they started to oppose and fight the messenger of God .. in fact, they preferred the life of the World to the Next Life.
[The tribe of Quraish demanded of Prophet Mohammed to bring them an objective miracle, and then they would believe him; therefore, this aya Quran 2: 201 was revealed, which means:]
([Mohammed,] ask the Children of Israel how many profound miracles we gave to them a; and whoso substitutes [with ungratefulness] the favor of God b after having reached him [by the tongue of Mohammed], then surely God is Vehement in punishing c.)
[Then God – be glorified – explained that they refuse to believe only because they prefer the life of the World; therefore, He said:]
(212. The Worldly life has been made fair-seeming to the non-believers, and they ridicule the believers.
But the [believers] who ward off [the disobedience of God] will be above them on Judgment Day;
and [in the future: in the Worldly life], God [will] give provision without restriction to those [believers] whom He will.)
