Commentary 19:41 “Why do you worship that which can neither hear nor see” is a reminder to those who call upon the dead. Many pagans at the time of Abraham worshipped…

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ يَا أَبَتِ لِمَ تَعْبُدُ مَا لَا يَسْمَعُ وَلَا يُبْصِرُ وَلَا يُغْنِي عَنكَ شَيْئًا

19:41 “Why do you worship that which can neither hear nor see” is a reminder to those who call upon the dead. Many pagans at the time of Abraham worshipped idols who had neither eyesight nor hearing. This verse is also another reminder that Jesus is dead and he can neither hear nor see those who implore him for help. The Holy Qur’ân negates the faculty of hearing and seeing of deities.
