293. The essence of the discussion is oaths of this nature are taken in these matters so that people will subsequently give up telling lies out of feat of embarrassment and punishment.
294. By this is meant infidels will not receive guidance to answer questions in the grave or on the Day of Judgement or obtain a means of entering Paradise. The believers will through the blessings of Allah Almighty be able to answer the questions in the grave and on the Day of Judgement correctly which would enable them to find their place in Paradise as if they are its permanent residents. Or it could also mean that Allah Almighty does not show the infidels the way to do good deeds in the world because good deeds are dependent upon correct beliefs. This does not mean that Allah deprives the infidels in the world from guidance towards faith. The Holy Prophet ? converted the non-believer to Islam. Till this day thousands of non-believers are entering the fold of Islam.Â
