Al-A'raaf • EN-TAFSIR-IBN-ABBAS
﴿ وَإِن تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰ لَا يَسْمَعُوا۟ ۖ وَتَرَىٰهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَيْكَ وَهُمْ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ ﴾
“and if you pray unto them for guidance, they do not hear; and though thou mayest imagine that they behold thee, they do not see."”
(And if ye (Muslims) call them to the Guidance) to the Truth (they hear not) nor answer because they are not living but dead; (and thou seest them) O Muhammad (looking towards you) with their eyes open as if they are looking at you, (but they see not) because they are not living but dead.
