BELIEF IN THE UNSEEN mentioning such subjects as are in reality incomprehensible for man, it ends with this expression of exasperation: whatever can make you (O man), understand what it really is? Following are a few more illustrations of the same: 82:18-19. W وَمَا أَدْريكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ ثُمَّ مَا اَدْريكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ *. And what should make thee know what the Day of. Judgement is!. Again, what should make thee know what the Day of. Judgement is!³ الْحَاقَّةُ مَا الْحَاقَّةُ وَمَا أَدْريكَ مَا الْحَاقَّةُ * 69:24. The Inevitable!. What is the Inevitable?. And what should make thee know what the. Inevitable is? سَأصْلِيْهِ سَفَرَ * وَمَا أَدْراكَ مَا سَقَرُ * 28-74:27. Him shall I cast into the Hellfire. . But what can make thee understand O man, what the. Hellfire is?". In fact the problem does not relate as much to God's inability as it does to the limitation of human senses. . Naturally anyone who is deficient in one or two of the five senses can by no means grasp the true nature of anything which pertains to the missing senses. The deaf cannot grasp the idea of sound and the blind cannot visualize what sight is. Yet others who can hear and see do make attempts to help them grope for the idea which for them is ever elusive. 281
