Sura 42
Aya 16
16
وَالَّذينَ يُحاجّونَ فِي اللَّهِ مِن بَعدِ مَا استُجيبَ لَهُ حُجَّتُهُم داحِضَةٌ عِندَ رَبِّهِم وَعَلَيهِم غَضَبٌ وَلَهُم عَذابٌ شَديدٌ

Yusuf Ali

But those who dispute concerning God after He has been accepted,-1 futile is their dispute in the Sight of their Lord: on them will be a Penalty terrible.
  • After He has been accepted. The disputants are the Unbelievers who pugnaciously assault the minds of Believers after the Believers have by conviction accepted Faith in God as leading to spiritual Light. Such disputation is futile. An inner spiritual experience can never be shaken by dialectical assaults. On the contrary such disputations recoil on the heads of those who indulge in them. God’s Wrath is on them in this life, and the terrible Penalty of the Hereafter must inevitably follow their evil plots against Truth.
