The Qur’an For All Humanity
In the Hereafter
~ 12 ~
who led people astray, did not do so due to any
misunderstanding. Indeed, they knowingly ignored
the truth; it was not a case of their remaining
unaware of it but of their being unable to rise above
worldly temptations. They could not bring
themselves to sacrifice their temporary gains. It is
patent that the guidance sent to them by God
through His chosen servants was so clear that no
one could have remained ignorant of the truth. But
their love of this world was responsible for drawing
a veil over their eyes. They did not follow the path
of guidance, despite the fact that they were fully
informed of it.
In the Hereafter all those artificial props which
made people unmindful of reality will vanish. Then
they will see clearly how it happened that truth
came before them, but they rejected it outright,
resorting to falsehoods as excuses. It will become
obvious to them how their error was shown to them
as plain as daylight, and how they managed to find
beautiful words to refute the truth, thinking that
they would succeed in proving that their stand was
the right one.
