(36) إِنَّما يَسْتَجِيبُ الَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ وَ الْمَوْتى يَبْعَثُهُمُ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُونَ
36. " Only those accept who hearken, and (as for) the dead, Allah will raise them up; then unto Him they will be returned."
Commentary :
The Qur'an has repeatedly resembled the rejectors of Truth as the dead and the deaf. For example, Sura An-Naml, No. 27, verse 80 as well as Sura Ar-Rum, No. 30, verse 52, are cited as this: " Surely you do not make the dead to hear, and you do not make the deaf to hear the call when they go back retreating."
Human beings are free to choose their own path, whether it is right or wrong.
Hearing the truth and accepting it, is a sign of the existence of the spiritual life and alertness in a person. The person who is in lack of spiritual life and does not accept the truth, is dead, because the animal life, which is usually rendered into eating and drinking to survive, is something that all living creatures possess, too.
The verse addresses the holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) implying that he should take care of the truth-seekers, and dealing with disbelievers is referred to Allah Who will call them to account on the Day of Resurrection.
It says :
" Only those accept who hearken, and (as for) the dead, Allah will raisethem up; then unto Him they will be returned."
