Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (They ask: When is the Day of Judgment?)]
And among the ignorance of the polytheists is that they [Al-Dhariyat: 12] asked in a manner of rejection and denial. Had they asked in a manner of seeking information and inquiry, they would have been excused.As Jibril said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): (Inform me about the Hour), but did he say it in a manner of rejection and denial? No, rather he said it in a manner of seeking information and inquiry.The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: (The one asked about it is not more knowledgeable than the one asking).
But those fabricators,[Adh-Dhariyat 51:12] meaning: When is it? in a manner of rejection. For this reason, Allah said about them in Surat (Qaf): [Qaf: 2-3] meaning: Shall we be returned after we have become dust? That is a far return.
So they ask about the Day of Resurrection not in a manner of seeking information and inquiry to become certain, but in a manner of rejection and denial.
And among the ignorance of the polytheists is that they
They ask, "When is the Day of Recompense?"
يَسْأَلونَ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الدِّينِBut those fabricators,
They ask, "When is the Day of Recompense?"
يَسْأَلونَ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الدِّينِand the disbelievers say, "This is an amazing thing. (3) When we have died and have become dust, [we will return to life]? That is a distant return."
فَقَالَ الْكَافِرُونَ هَذَا شَيْءٌ عَجِيبٌ * أَإِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَاباً ذَلِكَ رَجْعٌ بَعِيدٌSo they ask about the Day of Resurrection not in a manner of seeking information and inquiry to become certain, but in a manner of rejection and denial.
