Read in Context

Chapter 35, Page 437, Juz 22

19. Those blind ˹to the truth˺ and those who can see are not equal, 20. nor are the darkness and the light, 21. nor the ˹scorching˺ heat and the ˹cool˺ shade. 22. Nor are the dead and the living equal. Indeed, Allah ˹alone˺ makes whoever He wills hear, but you ˹O Prophet˺ can never make those in the graves hear ˹your call˺. 23. You are only a warner. 24. We have surely sent you with the truth as a deliverer of good news and a warner. There is no community that has not had a warner. 25. If they deny you, so did those before them. Their messengers came to them with clear proofs, divine Books, and enlightening Scriptures. 26. Then I seized those who persisted in disbelief. How severe was My response!

- Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran
