Why Do They Not Believe?
فَمَا لَهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٢٠
What aileth them, then, that they believe not.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
So what is wrong with them that they do not believe?
Insight
According to Elmalılı, since change in this world is certain and going to the Hereafter and giving account is unavoidable, not believing is astonishing.
Reflect
