The context of the verse

Verse 52: But it is not except a reminder to the worlds.[3]
Exegesis
The verse refers to evil eye which is a kind of psychological effects and there is no rational reason to deny it. This meant that they want to make Muhammad sick and die with special look.[4][5][6] It also suggested that the verse is metonymy of very angry glances. It is like to say they look very furiously as if they want to kill Muhammad.[7][8][5] In addition the grudges of disbeliever lead them to contradiction. On the one hand they understand the importance of Quran insofar as they desire the destruction of Islamic Prophet, on the other hand they accuse him of madness.[9]
