The condition of hyprocrites is illustrated through two examples! When fire is kindled in the darkness of the night it not only illuminates the surrounding but also radiates heat. The Quran is stated to be ‘light’ (Noor) (Chapter 5: Verse 5) and prophet Muhammed (PBH) ‘a lamp giving light’ (Sirajam munnera) (Chapter 5: 33 Verse 46). The believers take advantage of this light and are thereby guided towards the straight path leading to paradise. The hyprocrites refuse to receive guidance from this light, therefore for their punishment their light i.e. their sight is taken away and they are left in darkness. When light is taken away from fire only heat remains in it, i.e. when guidance is taken away only hellfire remains for punishment. The hyprocrites are thus left not only in darkness but also in an unpleasant heated environment. This suggests that the hypocrites, because of their internal darkness blindly wonder in their rebellion and ultimately land in hell to experience the torture of burning in the fire. Their two major sources of reception of religious information, i.e. their ears and eyes are sealed so they are deaf and blind with regard to the message and the messenger (PBH) of Allah. Consequently, there is no religious response from them, in view of which they are further classed as dumb, probably meaning ‘response less’when the major sources of religious reception and response are sealed there is no question of their returning to the light i.e. the message and the messenger (PBH) of Allah.
