The Quran says that those who deny Muhammad and the Quran were deaf, dumb and in darkness. They have to think about their outcome. Who can help to lift Allah’s torment from them?
—————————————————————————————————–
Ayah 6:39: Those who deny Muhammad and the Quran were deaf, dumb and in darkness; it says:
And those who deny our revelations i.e. deny Muhammad and the Quran were deaf, to hearing them in such a way so as to accept it.
It is also said that this means: they pretend not to hear the Truth. They were also dumb, unable to utter truth; they pretend to be dumb in relation to the Truth. They were in the darkness of their unbelief.
He whom Allah wills, to send astray, He sends astray, He makes him die in a state of disbelief and ,
He whom Allah wills, to guide, He sets him on a straight path, a straight road, that is the religion of Islam. He makes him die on the straight path which He is pleased with.
Ayah 6:40: Think about your outcome. Who can help you to lift the torment from you? The verse says:
Say to them O Muhammad: have you thought about your outcome when Allah’s chastisement comes upon you in:
- The life of this world, or
- (Comes suddenly in) the Hour,
- (Comes quickly at) the Day of Judgment?
Do you then call for help to any other than Allah to lift the torment from you?
Answer that if you were truthful that the idols were His partners. If you speak truly that the idols can benefit you, then call upon them.
