65وَيَومَ يُناديهِم فَيَقولُ ماذا أَجَبتُمُ المُرسَلينَMuhammad AsadAnd on that Day He will call unto them, and will ask: "How did you respond to My message-bearers?"1 -This connects with the first sentence of verse 59, which has been explained in the corresponding note 60. The present verse clearly implies that those sinners had not responded to the guidance offered them by God's apostles. As in many other instances in the Qur'an, God's "question" is but meant to stress a moral failure which by now has become obvious to man's self-accusing conscience.
