16:75 Part: “ARE THEY EQUAL”
Open passage -
The last part of 16:75 also informs us that “most people” do not know the difference between owner and slave. Therefore, they are not even aware and conscious of the difference between “freedom of choice”, or “forced belief”, and much more. Consistently, God refers to the majority of the humans as being unaware, ignorant, arrogant, evil, and disbelievers. Witness the last portion of this verse confirming God’s testimony.
