Editing Screen: Surah al-Baqarah 2 : 161

Editing: al-Baqarah

Description <p><strong>Explanatory Note</strong></p> <p>Those who persist and refuse to repent, however, shall meet their nemesis in the worst possible way, because they rejected God’s hospitality and consciously chose to perpetrate evil and falsehood.</p> <p>This general curse is considered a just reward for their abhorrent behaviour. They shall live as social outcasts, rejected by everyone and bereft of all dignity and respect. Worst of all, they shall incur the curse of God, which is the most devastating of all humiliations.</p> <p>Following that, there is a reiteration of the basic aspects of the concept of God’s oneness. To illustrate these, the sūrah cites a number of natural phenomena in the physical world that testify to God’s power and overall sovereignty. It then portrays a scene from the Day of Resurrection, showing the despair and confusion of those who reject God and deny His power and existence.</p>
