Show Full Scripture Context (35:14) — 1 Verse
إِن تَدۡعُوهُمۡ لَا يَسۡمَعُواْ دُعَآءَكُمۡ وَلَوۡ سَمِعُواْ مَا ٱسۡتَجَابُواْ لَكُمۡۖ وَيَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ يَكۡفُرُونَ بِشِرۡكِكُمۡۚ وَلَا يُنَبِّئُكَ مِثۡلُ خَبِيرٖ
If you call on them, they do not hear your calling, and (even) if they heard, they would not respond to you. On the Day of Resurrection they will deny your association. No one (can) inform you like One who is aware.
“and if (in case) they were to hear, they could not grant it to you.”
means, ‘they are not able to do any of the things that you ask them for.’
“And on the Day of Resurrection, they will disown your worshipping them”
means, ‘they will disown you.’ This is like the Ayat
“And who is more astray than one who calls on besides Allah, such as will not answer him till the Day of Resurrection, and who are (even) unaware of their calls to them? And when mankind are gathered, they (false deities) will become their enemies and will deny their worshipping.” (46:5-6), and
“And they have taken gods besides Allah, that they might give them honor, power and glory. Nay, but they will deny their worship of them, and become opponents to them.” (19:81-82)
“And none can inform you like Him Who is the All-Knower.”
means, no one can tell you about the consequences of things and how they will end like the One Who is the All-Knower of them. Qatadah said, “He is referring to Himself, may He be blessed and exalted, for He undoubtedly tells the truth.”
