Denying Without Knowledge
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءُو قَالَ أَكَذَّبۡتُم بِـَٔايَٰتِي وَلَمۡ تُحِيطُواْ بِهَا عِلۡمًا أَمَّاذَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ ٨٤
Till, when they come (before their Lord), He will say: Did ye deny My revelations when ye could not compass them in knowledge, or what was it that ye did.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
“Did you deny My signs while you encompassed them not in knowledge?”
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this is rejecting the signs without fully grasping them.
Reflect
Don’t rush to reject what you don’t understand.
