English - Short Commentary Translation

And they will say, ‘We now believe therein.’ But how can they attain faith from a position so far-off?[2405]

The words may mean "after death" and the verse may signify that disbelievers will surely, realize after death that they were in the wrong. Disbelievers make foolish conjectures about the failure of the Prophet’s mission, which being far removed from the source of "the unseen" or from reality, reason and truth are foolish and baseless.
