Deaf, dumb and blind, they will never return.
If people existing in the darkness get a light, they can see the surroundings. If suddenly the light is extinguished, they won’t even have that sight before getting the Light. All mankind has been given the Light Adhikr from Paradise itself. Then the Light is revealed as a Book Adhikr to three hundred and thirteen Messengers from Nooh to Muhammad. Every time, Prophets and believers utilized the Light while the hypocrites and their followers tried to extinguish It. The Light sent down to Messenger Muhammad is for the entire mankind as explained in verse 7: 157. After 30 years of Messenger’s departure, the Arabic Quran reading Fujjar who received the Light became strayed and started to extinguish It. They have become worthless people by forgetting Adhikr as explained in verses 25: 18. They are deaf, dumb, and blind towards Adhikr so that they will never return to the Straightpath. The hypocrites, even though they have ears, will not hear Adhikr; even though they are talkative, will not talk about It; and even though they have sight, they will not see the Insight as explained in verse 7: 179. That is why it is told in verses 17: 97 and 25: 33-34 that whoever neglects Adhikr which is the Best Interpretation of the Book, will be dragged prone on his face into Hell, those are in the worst place and are the most strayed. See explanation 1: 7 and 8: 22.
