Sura 69
Aya 39
39
وَما لا تُبصِرونَ

Ali Unal

And all that you cannot see,1
  • This oath is very important in that neither the truth nor creation consists in what is observable and perceivable by humanity. Moreover, the basic truth lying behind all that we observe and perceive is unobservable and imperceptible through our senses. It is because of this that the Qur’ān begins praising the believers by saying that they believe in the Unseen. With this oath, the Qur’ān draws attention to this fact and to the fact that the most fundamental and essential truths should not be looked for in the observable realm of creation. The truth of the Resurrection and the Final Judgment, and that of eternal life, both of which are presented in the previous verses, and the truth of the Revelation and its communication by the Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, are among such truths.
