Then Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Baqarah 2:6] This is an explanation of the second category of people, because in this surah Allah mentioned the categories and types of people. The first is the pure believers, and the second is the pure disbelievers, as in this verse.
[Al-Baqarah 2:6] They disbelieved in whom? They disbelieved in everything in which faith is obligatory: they disbelieved in Allah, they disbelieved in His messengers, they disbelieved in His angels, they disbelieved in His books, they disbelieved in the Last Day, they disbelieved in the divine decree, its good and its evil, or what is similar to that. The important point is that it is general for everything in which faith is obligatory. So if they disbelieved in it, these are disbelievers.
Now, what if they disbelieved in some of it? It is the same, by the saying of Allah the Exalted:[An-Nisa 4:150-151]......
And His saying:[Al-Baqarah 2:6] This is a sentence formed into a verbal noun without the presence of a verbal noun particle, because a sentence that is formed into a verbal noun, meaning converted into a verbal noun, must be accompanied by a verbal noun particle, such as that (anna), that (an), the verbal noun ma, or the verbal noun law. But this was formed into a verbal noun even though it contains none of the tools of the verbal noun. However, when "the same" (suwa) comes [Al-Baqarah 2:6], this is formed into a verbal noun. So the implied meaning is: It is the same for them whether you warn them or not. The intended meaning is these disbelievers upon whom the word of punishment has become a reality. These will not believe whether you warn them or do not warn them, because their hearts have been sealed — may Allah protect us from that — and the intended meaning is not that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) should not call them. Rather, the intended meaning is that he should find consolation if they do not believe. It is said that Allah has sealed their hearts, so they will not believe.
And His saying:[Al-Baqarah 2:6] means that your warning and your not warning are equal for them. And His saying: Warning is informing with threat and intimidation. [Al-Baqarah 2:6] This is the second category.
Is this "or" (am) here connected or disconnected? It is connected, because the connected one is that which comes between two equal things, as here. The disconnected one is that which comes between two separate things. This is a semantic difference. The linguistic difference is: for the connected one, it is correct to replace it with "or" (aw), and for the disconnected one, it is not correct to replace it with "or" (aw), but rather it is replaced with "but" (bal).[Al-Baqarah 2:6] This sentence is the second predicate. Where is the first predicate? [Al-Baqarah 2:6] This is the first predicate. And His saying: is the second predicate.
Indeed, those who disbelieve - it is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them - they will not believe.
إن الذين كفروا سواء عليهم أأنذرتهم أم لم تنذرهم لا يؤمنونIndeed, those who disbelieve
إن الذين كفرواNow, what if they disbelieved in some of it? It is the same, by the saying of Allah the Exalted:
(150) Indeed, those who disbelieve in Allah and His messengers and wish to discriminate between Allah and His messengers and say, "We believe in some and disbelieve in others," and wish to adopt a way in between - (151) Those are the disbelievers, truly. And We have prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating punishment.
إن الذين يكفرون بالله ورسله ويريدون أن يفرقوا بين الله ورسله ويقولون نؤمن ببعض ونكفر ببعض ويريدون أن يتخذوا بين ذلك سبيلا أولئك هم الكافرون حقا وأعتدنا للكافرين عذابا مهيناAnd His saying:
it is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them
سواء عليهم أأنذرتهم أم لم تنذرهمit is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them
سواء عليهم أأنذرتهم أم لم تنذرهمAnd His saying:
it is all the same for them whether you warn them
سواء عليهم أأنذرتهمIt is the same
سواءWhether you warn them
أأنذرتهمor do not warn them
أم لم تنذرهمIs this "or" (am) here connected or disconnected? It is connected, because the connected one is that which comes between two equal things, as here. The disconnected one is that which comes between two separate things. This is a semantic difference. The linguistic difference is: for the connected one, it is correct to replace it with "or" (aw), and for the disconnected one, it is not correct to replace it with "or" (aw), but rather it is replaced with "but" (bal).
