Sura 84
Aya 20
20
فَما لَهُم لا يُؤمِنونَ

Yusuf Ali

What then is the matter with them, that they believe not?—1
  • Considering man’s high destiny, and the fact that this life is but a stage or a sojourn for him, it might be expected that he would eagerly embrace every opportunity of welcoming God’s Revelation and ascending by Faith to heights of spiritual wisdom. There is something wrong with his will if he does not do so. Notice the transition from the second person in verse 19, where there is a direct appeal to God’s votaries, to the third person in verses 20-21, where men who are rebels against God’s Kingdom are spoken of as if they were alien.
