Surat Al- Baqara {And if ye do it not - and ye can never do it - then guard yourselves against the Fire prepared for disbelievers, whose fuel is of men and stones. (24)} After telling us about the evidence on which the doubters in the Qur’an rely, and they are evidence which bear no logic or acceptance, Allah the Almighty challenged them to bring a Verse similar to one in the Qur’an and to seek help from whomsoever they wanted except from Allah. That is because the Quran is the word of Allah and Allah the Almighty is the speaker. And because they are attempting to doubt that the Qur’an is the word of Allah and that it was revealed by Allah, they may seek assistance of whomsoever to bring a similar verse from it because the challenge cannot be completed unless they seek the assistance of all except Allah the Almighty. Then Allah the Almighty comes with the result before the challenge begins, because Allah the Almighty knows that they will not do and they are unable to do. Allah’s saying: {And if ye do it not - and ye can never do it } means that He the Almighty has decreed that they will fail at the time the Qur’an was revealed, and after it was revealed and until the day of judgment. Because nothing can be hidden from the knowledge of Allah as He is the all knowledgeable of everything and the words: {And if ye do it not} may seem doubtful. We know that when something is conditional then it raises doubt, because for the matter to actually take place there is a condition. And if one says if you study you will pass your exam there is doubt in the matter. (Ina) is a letter (Itha) is a condition and each requires a place and a time. So if you bring the tool of condition then this means you are bringing it close to the element of the verb and the incident. And if you wanted to express something that is going to happen you use the word (Itha) and if there was something with some doubt you use (Ina) and Allah the Almighty said { And if ye do it not } and because the act may take  place so He wanted to favour the prohibition side {and ye can never do it} and that is a matter of choice. So if you talked about a matter of choice then you decided that it will not happen, it is as if your own ability was what prohibited you from the act itself. Therefore it is not said that you prohibited him form ding the act, no, you knew he will not do the act so all his preparations will not make him able to do the act. And these are matters from the unseen knowledge provided to us by the Holy Qur’an. Therefore when Allah the Almighty says: {they ignored it and their selves are certain about it} means that they are believers but their selves do not admit that. And Allah’s saying {And if ye do it not - and ye can never do it} means that doubt is made up by themselves. They do not want to believe that is why they come with a made up reason for not believing, their minds are made up that they will not believe. And because this is what you have decided you will continue to search for made up reasons so not to believe. And Allah the Almighty’s saying: {then guard yourselves against the Fire prepared for disbelievers, whose fuel is of men and stones} Allah the Almighty wants to draw our attention to another picture of how helpless those disbelievers are. They searched for excuses so to justify with it their disbelief and they appeared as of they were doubting the Qur’an. He says to them: if you have internal ability of yourselves then prevent yourself going to the hellfire on the day of judgment. Just like you prevented yourselves from believing during your lifetime. And that is a promissory warning from Allah. He gave them the will of choosing in their lifetime and they did not choose submissively rather they chose not to believe by the power of will given to them by Allah. But there is a time where there is no choice and that is the hereafter the torment of the fire on the day of judgment. There will be no choice for anyone as Allah the Almighty says on that day: {Whose is the Sovereignty this day? It is Allahs, the One, the Almighty. (16)} Surat Ghafir (40) The Almighty also says: {A day on which no soul hath power at all for any (other) soul. The (absolute) command on that day is Allahs. (19)} Surat Al-Infitar (82) Your ability and determination that denied you from being faithful will not today protect you from the torments of hell. And read Allah the Almighty’s words: {Lo! ye (idolaters) and that which ye worship beside Allah are fuel of hell. Thereunto ye will come. (98)} Surat Al-Anbyia (21) Why is the talk directed at them and what they worship? Because the worshippers hopes for a benefit from the worshipped. And it is as if when they see each other in a state of torment, the regret is even worse. That the stones and the idols they worshipped will be with them in the hellfire on the day of judgment. That is not a punishment for the idols an stones as they are a creation of Allah made submissive by creation and prayed for but those idols and stones are content when burning those who disbelieved in Allah and say: (they worshipped us and we are the best worshippers of Allah even from those who stand in prayer and ask for forgiveness at night). And Allah the Almighty’s saying: {prepared for the disbelievers} Allah the Almighty tells them, whilst they are in this life, that the fire has been prepared for the disbelievers and His saying the Almighty that the fire was prepared for the disbelievers is an assurance of the utmost nature to the believer. And fright the utmost fright for the disbeliever. And Allah’s saying (prepared) means that it is present now even if we do not see it and it has been created even if it is concealed from us. And the Prophet [PBUH] had already said: (paradise was shown to me and had I wished I would have bought you something from it) and this is evidence and confirmation that it really does actually exist. And the believer when knows that paradise does actually exist and that his belief will lead him to it he will then feel happiness and will be eager for paradise. So when he hears the Almighty’s saying: {These are the heirs (10) Who will inherit the highest level of paradise. There they will abide for eternity. (11)} Surat Al-Mumenoun (23) When you hear this Holy Verse you realise that Allah the Almighty will place in you paradise to take what was suppose to be for someone else. That is because inheritance comes to you from another and Allah’s knowledge preceded the creation of the whole of mankind and before He created He prepared for each and every of His creation He prepared a seat in paradise and another in hell. And those who will enter the hellfire for eternity their seats in paradise will be empty so Allah the Almighty comes and awards their seats to the believers on top of their own seats places in paradise. Allah the Almighty says (prepared) in that it is actually existing at present. ___________________
