Surah Yunus 10:96

Previous books Attest to the Truth of the Qur'an

Allah said:

(Those who follow the Messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write whom they find written of with them in the Tawrah and the Injil.)(7:157) They are as certain of this as they are about who their children are, yet they hide it and distort it. They did not believe in it despite its clear evidence. Therefore Allah said:

(Truly, those, against whom the Word (wrath) of your Lord has been justified, will not believe. Even if every sign should come to them, until they see the painful torment.) meaning they would not believe in a way that they might benefit from that belief. This is when they believe at a time one may not be able to benefit from his belief. An example is when Musa prayed against Fir`awn and his chiefs, saying:

(Our Lord! Destroy their wealth, and harden their hearts, so that they will not believe until they see the painful torment.)(10:88) And Allah said:

(And even if We had sent down unto them angels, and the dead had spoken unto them, and We had gathered together all things before their very eyes, they would not have believed, unless Allah willed, but most of them behave ignorantly.) (6:111) Allah then said:

Ayat ini menerangkan bahwa bagi orang-orang yang mendustakan ayat-ayat Allah berlaku ketetapan-ketetapan Allah, yaitu mengazab mereka dengan azab yang pedih di akhirat nanti. Iman mereka tidak dapat diharapkan lagi, karena hati mereka telah tertutup dan terkunci mati, tidak bisa menerima petunjuk Ilahi, sehingga mereka tetap dalam kekafiran dan perbuatan dosa.
