(6:36) Only they who listen can respond to the call of the Truth; as for the dead,[25] Allah will raise them and then to Him they will be returned.

Ala-Maududi

(6:36) Only they who listen can respond to the call of the Truth; as for the dead,[25] Allah will raise them and then to Him they will be returned.


25. ‘Those who hear’ refers to those whose consciences are alive, who have not atrophied their intellect and reason, and who have not closed their hearts to the Truth out of irrational prejudice and menta! inflexibility. In contrast to such people are those who are characterized as ‘dead’ – who blindly follow the old familiar beaten tracks, and can never deviate from the ways they have inherited, even when these ways are plainly at variance with the Truth.

(36) Only those who hear will respond. But the dead[301] - Allāh will resurrect them; then to Him they will be returned.

[301]- i.e., the dead of heart, meaning the disbelievers.
