Surah An-Nahl — Ayah 21 (16:21)
أَمۡوَٰتٌ غَيۡرُ أَحۡيَآءٖۖ وَمَا يَشۡعُرُونَ أَيَّانَ يُبۡعَثُونَ ٢١
English translation (Saheeh International)
They are [in fact] dead,1 not alive, and they do not perceive when they will be resurrected.
- - i.e., inanimate or without understanding.
Brief commentary
Despite the fact that the idol worshippers made their gods with their own hands, they are also lifeless things that have no life nor knowledge. They do not know when they will be resurrected with their worshippers on the Day of Judgement, to be thrown together with them into the fire of Hell.
