7:179 Al-Ara’f. “We created many Men and Jinn for FIRE”, Who are those who Allah CREATED for FIRE?

7:179

وَلَقَدْ ذَرَأْنَا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ ۖ لَهُمْ قُلُوبٌ لَّا يَفْقَهُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌ لَّا يُبْصِرُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ آذَانٌ لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَا ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ كَالْأَنْعَامِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْغَافِلُونَ

Shakir

And certainly We have created for hell many of the jinn and the men; they have hearts with which they do not understand, and they have eyes with which they do not see, and they have ears with which they do not hear; they are as cattle, nay, they are in worse errors; these are the heedless ones.

আর আমি সৃষ্টি করেছি দোযখের জন্য বহু জ্বিন ও মানুষ। তাদের অন্তর রয়েছে, তার দ্বারা বিবেচনা করে না, তাদের চোখ রয়েছে, তার দ্বারা দেখে না, আর তাদের কান রয়েছে, তার দ্বারা শোনে না। তারা চতুষ্পদ জন্তুর মত; বরং তাদের চেয়েও নিকৃষ্টতর। তারাই হল গাফেল, শৈথিল্যপরায়ণ।

My Critical Reasoning:

The ‘Kalb’ (the heart) is mentioned as a tool which is supposed to use to understand, think, contemplate about the creator.  That change our traditional understanding and knowing about ‘brain’ as an only tool for thinking. What science says about this? Does our heart also ‘think’? And science says today, ‘Yes, it does”

There’s a philosophical question around this verse. Why a creator has created a creation for fire? The answer is given in the Ayah. You can translate it according to your understanding like

“I gave you tools for your use, you didn’t use it, it’s not my fault”,

“I showed you both ways and I gave you the tools to navigate, you did not use it. You just completely shut your senses and believed blindly your gurus, priests, monks, philosophers, when they told you “It’s just a belief”,

“I gave you detail guideline and then I warned you in detail but you didn’t pay heed to my warning”,

“I gave you signs all over your life, you were just heedless”,

“You wanted me to send an angel straight to you, you thought yourself that much important, fire is enough for your arrogance.

“I honoured you by giving you those tools, but you remain hopeless and did not pause and look at yourself what have you got, you were busy in making a lot of money and comfort and luxury and then you engaged in endless entertainment! and WASTING your time!

“I informed you, I gave you sign, my message reached out to you but you let it pass, therefore, do not blame me, blame yourself only”

“I favoured you, blessed you but you never thought who is that you should be grateful to?”
