Then aren't they repenting towards Lord Allah and aren't they seeking His forgiveness? And Allah is the Oft-Forgiving, Merciful.
The servants of the Forgiving and Merciful Lord should follow two conditions for getting forgiveness as told in verses 39: 53-55: "(1) Turn towards the Lord with soul and submit wholly to Him before death happens. (2) Follow the Best Book Adhikr before death approaches unexpectedly". But today, the Arabic Quran reading Fujjar who read these verses have made their food 'rejecting Adhikr'. It is told in verse 39: 59 that the Lord will tell such a Fujjar at the time of their death as: "Nay, you have received my verses, but you rejected them, you were arrogant, and you were among the disbeliever". The Fujjar are denoted as the worst creatures not for being deaf and dumb towards the Arabic Quran, but towards Adhikr as explained in verse 8: 22. See explanation 2: 146; 3: 86-91; 4: 17-18, and 140.
