وَمَثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ كَمَثَلِ ٱلَّذِى يَنْعِقُ بِمَا لَا يَسْمَعُ إِلَّا دُعَآءً وَنِدَآءً صُمٌّۢ بُكْمٌ عُمْىٌ فَهُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ (171

171. The
likeness of those who disbelieve (in relation to the Messenger) is as the
likeness of one who calleth unto that which heareth naught except a shout and
cry. Deaf, dumb, blind, therefore they have no sense.

Commentary
In this verse,
likeness of the disbelievers is being discussed that they are like the animals
which are called by their shepherd. The animal hears his voice surely but does
not understand anything, whether the shepherd would be singing the sweet songs
or abusing them. The animal does not understand except considering it as cry
and scream. In this verse, the ‘Caller’ indicates towards the Messenger of God
Almighty (May glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon Him) and the
Infidels have been illustrated by a simile of animals. Surely, these people
hear the invitation of the Messenger of God Almighty (May glory, grace,
blessings and peace be upon Him) but they do not think and care about it
that what is hidden in this sound for them and what they have to do answering
this voice.
The people, who do not
embrace the invitation of the truth; are like deaf that the voice of Just
enters into their ears but does not affect on their hearts. They show a
listened talk as un-listened. They are dumb as they listen and understand the
Right but do not announce it with their tongues. If their hearts agreed to it
even then they do not embrace and don’t convey the message of justice up to the
other people. They are blind as they do not look the straight path. In spite of
having eyes they are unable to see something. If the use of these powers is not
for the justice and these are not used in the right path; then existence of
these things is equal to non existence. Because, which Life (God Almighty) has
bestowed the powers to the human being, if these do not work according to His
Instructions properly, do not show the mankind the Path of Real Master Almighty
and do not tell the method to meet Him then there is no advantage of their
existence.
For
example; an individual has any eatable but he does not bring it in use; then it
will be said that he has nothing to eat. Or any person has much money but he
doesn’t spend it, moreover he keeps it holding and counting up then only it
will be said that this wealth is equal to nothing. The same condition is of the
Infidels that they have ears, tongues and eyes but do not use these things as
these are required to be used.
