English Translation
36What is the matter with you? How do you judge like this?
Explanatory translation
36O heedless people! The truth being so, what basis and proof do you have on this matter, that you claim to be superior to the believers? What is the matter with you when you say, “There is no resurrection after death; when we die, the end of the Muslim and the non-Muslim will be the same”? Come to your senses! What kind of error is this? In the face of the truth, how can you claim something so false? As if you were the true owners of what Allah has entrusted to you, by what logic do you reason, and how foolishly you judge!
