Footnotes
1 - i.e., inanimate or without understanding.
They are dead, possessing no life (amwaatun, 'dead', is a second predicate), not living (an emphasis), and they, the idols, are not aware when, is the time [in which], they shall be raised, that is, creatures: so how can they be worshipped? For, only the Creator, the Living, the Knower of the Unseen can be a God.
