Believing in the Hereafter: Great Obstacle for Most People (27:66 – 27:81)

Believing in the Hereafter: Great Obstacle for Most People

27:66 In fact, their knowledge concerning the Hereafter is confused. In fact, they harbor doubts about it. In fact, they are totally heedless thereof. 27:67 Those who disbelieved said, “After we turn into dust, and also our parents, do we get brought out? 27:68 “We have been given the same promise in the past. These are nothing but tales from the past.” 27:69 Say, “Roam the earth and note the consequences for the guilty.” 27:70 Do not grieve over them, and do not be annoyed by their scheming. 27:71 They say, “When will that promise come to pass, if you are truthful?” Say, “You are already suffering some of the retribution you challenge.” Your Lord is full of grace towards the people, but most of them are unappreciative. Your Lord fully knows what their chests hide, and what they declare. There is nothing in the heavens and the earth that is hidden (from God); everything is in a profound record. This Quran settles many issues for the Children of Israel; issues that they are still disputing. And most assuredly, it is a guide and mercy for the believers. Your Lord is the One who judges among them in accordance with His rules. He is the Almighty, the Omniscient. Therefore, put your trust in GOD; you are following the manifest truth. You cannot make the dead, nor the deaf, hear the call, if they turn away. Nor can you guide the blind out of their straying. The only ones who will hear you are those who believe in our revelations, and decide to be submitters.
