Tafheem ul Quran

Surah 11 Hud, Ayat 20-20

اُولٰٓـئِكَ لَمۡ يَكُوۡنُوۡا مُعۡجِزِيۡنَ فِى الۡاَرۡضِ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُمۡ مِّنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ مِنۡ اَوۡلِيَآءَ​ ۘ يُضٰعَفُ لَهُمُ الۡعَذَابُ​ ؕ مَا كَانُوۡا يَسۡتَطِيۡعُوۡنَ السَّمۡعَ وَمَا كَانُوۡا يُبۡصِرُوۡنَ‏ ﴿11:20﴾

(11:20) They had no power to frustrate Allah's design in the earth,24 nor did they have any protectors against Allah. Their chastisement will be doubled.25 They were unable to hear, nor could they see.


Notes

24. This, again, refers to what will happen in the next life.

25. They will suffer punishment for being in error and for misleading others and leaving behind a legacy of error and misguidance for coming generations. (Surah Al-Araf, E.N. 30).
