Why does the Quran focus on condemning the majority of people, and how do we understand the verses that condemn people, such as His, the Almighty's, saying: "And most of mankind, though you may desire it greatly, will not be believers," is it inclusive of us or are we exempted from it?

The vast majority of people disbelieve and deny, they do not know the truth, they follow conjectures, they reject divine messages, they disbelieve in the Hereafter, and they do not thank Allah for His blessings. For this reason, the Holy Quran warned against obeying this multitude. As for the believing minority, they are the ones who will be saved in this world and the Hereafter. In this there is a divine wisdom to strengthen the prophets and their followers, to avoid despair, to not feel weakness, and to set a wise political strategy. The multitude may be praiseworthy if it is in matters of good, benefiting people, and remembering and thanking Allah.
