CHAPTER 2 SURAH BAQRAH 16 - 19

2:16 These are the ones who have purchased straying with guidance; their trade did not profit them, nor were they guided.*

[Note: Muhtadi = Guided = He who journeys in the right direction]


2:17 Their example is like the one who lights a fire, so when it illuminates what is around him, Allah takes away his light and leaves him in the darkness not seeing.


2:18 Deaf, dumb and blind of reason! They will not return to journey in the right direction.

[8:22: The worst creatures with God are the deaf and dumb who do not comprehend.*

16:76: And Allah puts forth the example of two men, one of them is mute and he cannot achieve anything, and he is a burden to his guardian. Wherever he points him, he does not come with any good. Is he the same as one who orders good and he is upon a straight path?*

17:36:And do not uphold what you have no knowledge of; for the hearing, eyesight, and heart - all these you are responsible for that.]


2:19.  Or like a storm cloud from the sky, in it is darkness and thunder and lightning. They place their fingers in their ears from the thunder-claps for fear of death; and Allah is aware of the rejecters.

[Plugging the ears will not make the storm disappear since denial is no solution to any problem. His changeless laws are implemented in the Universe without any exceptions and none can escape them.

7:183: I give them respite to them. Indeed my plan is firm.

14:8. Moses said, “If you deny the truth and show ingratitude, you and all on earth together, know that Allah is absolutely Free of want, Worthy of all praise.”

29:54. They keep asking you to hasten the punishment. And indeed, Hell will surely encompass the disbelievers.

(79:36. Hell will be apparent to all who can see. (‘Jaheem’ = Insurmountable Barrier. He failed to prime his own ‘self’ for continued progress.

39:48:And will become apparent  to them  of evils works they had earned will be shown to them, and they will be surrounded by that which they used to mock.

82:16:And will not be absent from there.

30:24. And from His signs is that He shows you the lightning, giving you fear and hope, and He sends down water from the sky, and He revives the land with it after its death. In that are signs for a people who comprehend.]
