Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Is it said that the disbelievers are foolish, no matter how far they have advanced in inventions and the like, as evidenced by the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Ar-Rum 30:7]
Answer:
They are called ignorant. Even if they are scholars in invention, worldly knowledge, and technology, they are ignorant regarding the matters of the Hereafter, and this knowledge of theirs does not benefit them with Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).

They know what is apparent of the worldly life, but they, of the Hereafter, are unaware.
