The meaning of verse 35:19:
Is the disbeliever, the blind man who does not see the truth equal with the seer which is the believer?
The meaning of verse 35:20:
Nor the darkness which is the disbelief is tantamount to the light which is the belief;
The meaning of verse 35:21:
Nor is the beautiful and peaceful shade equal with the extremely hot weather, i.e. nor is Paradise equal to the Fire in the Hereafter;
The meaning of verse 35:22:
Nor are the living equal to the dead, the believers and the disbelievers respectively (linguistically, the addition of the particle lā, ‘nor’, in all three instances is for emphasis). In other words, nor are the believers equal with the disbelievers in relation to obedience and honors.
Indeed Allah makes to hear whomever He will, to be guided, so that such a person then responds to Him by embracing faith.
But you, O Muhammad, cannot make those who are in the graves to hear, namely, the disbelievers; whom He has likened to the dead to hear and so respond.
In other words, Allah makes whom He will; whoever deserves it to hear to understand. You, O Muhammad, cannot make understand those who are in the graves those who are as if dead and buried in the graves.
The meaning of verse 35:23:
You, O Muhammad, are but a Warner to them; a Messenger warning by the Quran.
The meaning of verse 35:24:
Truly, Allah has sent you with the truth, with right guidance, as a bearer of good tidings, to him who responds to it, and a Warner, to him who does not respond to it. And there is not a community or a nation but there has passed, there has been, in it a Warner, a prophet to warn it.
In other words, there is not a nation but a Warner has passed among them except that they had a warning messenger.
Historically, this verse is very interesting. Scientists have to look for the warning messengers which Allah has sent to North America, South America, Canada, China, Japan, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia etc.
