Transliteration:( Summum bukmun 'umyun fahum laa yarji'oon )
34. From this we learn that the eyes which did not perceive the signs (miracles) of Allah are blind; the ears which did not listen to the Book of Allah (Al-QUR'AAN), are deaf and the tongue which did not glorify Allah and sing the praises of the Holy Prophet?is dumb because these limbs did not accomplish that purpose of their creation. It is for this reason that Allah refers to the living non-believers as dead and the slain martyrs as living. Furthermore, we also learn that for the enemies of the Companions of the Prophet? of Allah to follow the Path of Guidance is virtually impossible, because Allah has referred to them "So they are not to return (S2 :V18)â€.
