Vertaling van de betekenissen Vers 21 Surah Soerat De bij (an-Nahl) - Engelse Vertaling - Dr. Walid Bleyhesh Al-Omari - The Heilige Qur'an Encyclopedie

Vers: 21

أَمۡوَٰتٌ غَيۡرُ أَحۡيَآءٖۖ وَمَا يَشۡعُرُونَ أَيَّانَ يُبۡعَثُونَ

(21) ˹they are˺ dead not alive^[3251] and they know not when they will be resurrected!^[3252]

[3251] Even this most basic characteristic of whomever is to be thought of as ‘god’, that is life itself, is not possessed by their gods, who are no more than inanimate objects (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr).
[3252] Gods who are worthy of the name can at least know what the future holds for themselves as well as for their worshippers (cf. al-Tafsīr al-Muyassar, al-Tafsīr al-Muḥarrar).
