Baqara verse 17

🔹 *Verse 17*

*Why does God leave the hypocrites in darkness?*

Ibrahim ibn Abi Mahmood says, “I asked Abul Hassan Al-Reza (s) about the Sublime God’s words, *‘…and left them in utter darkness. So they could not see.’*” [142]

The Imam (s) said, _“Indeed the Blessed the Sublime God cannot be described using such expressions as ‘left’ as His creatures can. But when God knows that they will not quit their atheism and error, God will deprive them of His Assistance and Favor, and abandon them to do as they wish.”_
