➋ { فَعُمِّيَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ:} Its root is {’’عَمْيٌ‘‘}, meaning to be blind, that is, tell me, if you have been blinded from this proof and mercy, and due to your foolishness it remained so hidden from you that you could not see it, then what fault is ours in this?
➌ {اَنُلْزِمُكُمُوْهَا وَ اَنْتُمْ لَهَا كٰرِهُوْنَ:} That is, should we forcibly make you accept this proof and push you under the shade of this mercy, while you dislike it and run away from it? In {’’ اَنُلْزِمُكُمُوْهَا ‘‘}, three pronouns have been combined in such a way within one word that the word has become extremely beautiful and clear.

The Difference Between the Life of a Prophet and Ordinary Disbelievers:
Noah (peace be upon him) replied that distinguishing qualities do exist in me, but it is a different matter that your standard of distinction is different, and mine is another. I have never worshipped anyone except Allah, I always speak the truth and invite others to the truth, I am compassionate to everyone, I do not harm anyone nor do I deceive or cheat. Furthermore, Allah has blessed me with prophethood by His mercy. In short, there is a world of difference between my life and yours. Still, if you do not see any distinguishing difference, how can I force you to be convinced?
