Then Allah wa Ta'ala Subhaanahu disclose the nature of their condition (those hypocrites,-Ad),

"Those are they who buy error in the instructions, it is not lucky to trade them and they are not guided."(Al-Baqarah: 16)

Tafseer of the verse:

16. Those are; meaning those hypocrites who are with these traits, {الذين اشتروا الضلالة بالهدى} "People who buy error in the instructions" meaning they prefer to error as a buyer likes of a commodity, which, among favorite on-delusion that makes it issued a precious treasure to get it, and this is a most appropriate metaphor, because God made the error which is the culmination of all evils such as merchandise and He made the clue which is the culmination of all the good level with the price of goods , then they give the instructions because they do not like to get apostasy against him because of love to it, then this is their trade, they were really jeleklah trade, and this is their deal, really jeleklah their transactions.

If a person issued a dinarnya to earn money so he has lost coin, and how people who spend gems to get the dirham? And how those who issued the instructions to get the error? And he prefers misery than happiness, and prefer to matters that do not mean to leave the matters that are useful? Fortunately did not end up the trade, he even lost in that regard with the greatest losses, they are the ones who lose themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection, keep in mind that this is a real loss. [1] And his word {وما كانوا مهتدين} "And they is not got a clue" as an affirmation of their error and that they do not get the slightest hint, then this is the properties they are ugly, then God mentions their parables, revealing it very clearly-as he says,

مثلهم كمثل الذي استوقد نارا فلما أضاءت ما حوله ذهب الله بنورهم وتركهم في ظلمات لا يبصرون. صم بكم عمي فهم لا يرجعون. أو كصيب من السماء فيه ظلمات ورعد وبرق يجعلون أصابعهم في آذانهم من الصواعق حذر الموت والله محيط بالكافرين. يكاد البرق يخطف أبصارهم كلما أضاء لهم مشوا فيه وإذا أظلم عليهم قاموا ولو شاء الله لذهب بسمعهم وأبصارهم إن الله على كل شيء قدير

"The likeness of them is like a man who lit the fire, then after the fire was lit around God removed the light (shining on) them, and leave them in darkness, unable to see. They are deaf, dumb and blind, then they will not return (to the right path), or the like (those who overwritten) heavy rain from the sky with darkness, thunder and lightning: they clog his ears with their fingers, because (hear votes) lightning, for fear of death. And Allah encompasses the unbelievers. Almost lightning grabbed their eyesight. Every time the lightning that illuminated them, they walk in the sun, and when darkness befell them, they stopped. If God so willed, He destroy their hearing and eyesight. Surely Allah has power over all things. "(Al-Baqarah: 17-20)

Tafseer of the verse:

17. That is the parable of those who according to their condition is like a fire, that he was in the pitch dark, and in desperate need of a fire, then lit from other than himself and he did not have the preparation to but outside of readiness, and when the fire has been illuminate its surroundings, and he was able to see the place where he is and all that he felt a concern, he calmed down and take advantage of the fire, and calm eyes, and he thought that he controlled conditions.

Then when he was in that condition, God put His light until the light disappears from the fire and fled away her happiness, then he was back in the pitch dark while the fire is still burning but due to the loss of light from him and stay with him a fire burning flame, and he is in darkness that vary; the darkness of night, dark clouds, rain darkness, and darkness that occurred after the light, then how is the condition of people like this?

So also those hypocrites who lit the fire of faith of the believers but not characteristic for them, they make it light for a while and woke up to use their blood and treasure selamatlah them, and they get some security on this earth, then when they in this condition, sudden death of their ambush, and halt their use of light, until there was anxiety, confusion, and torment, and they get the darkness of the grave, the darkness of Kufr, kemunafiqan darkness and the darkness with all the differences coraknya disobedience, and then after that the dark fires of hell, and evil is the dwelling, therefore God says about them.

18. صم {} "Deaf" means deaf from listening to the good, بكم} {"mute" means dumb than to talk about it, عمي {}"and blind" from seeing the truth. فهم لا يرجعون {} "Then they will not return to the right path" because they leave after they find out the truth, then they would not return to him, different from the person who left the truth because of ignorance and misguidance, because surely he did not think and he is closer to return than they are.

19. Then God Subhaanahu wa Ta'ala says, أو كصيب من السماء {} 'Or like people who are overwritten heavy rain from the sky "that is affected by rain, he is the rain that flows, that is down with the swift, فيه ظلمات {}" with darkness"night, kegalapan clouds, rain and darkness in him, {ورعد}" thunder "that the sound came from the clouds and there is also her وبرق {}" flash "light is illuminated and visible from the clouds.

20. كلما أضاء لهم {} "Every time the lightning that illuminates their" flash in the darkness-darkness, {مشوا فيه وإذا أظلم عليهم قاموا} "They are walking under the beam, and when darkness befell them, they stop" that they keep quiet, such as That's the condition of the people hypocrites when they listen to the Qur'an, commands, prohibitions, prohibitions, promises and threats. They put their fingers in their ears and they turn away from his orders, prohibitions, promises and threats, and threats they vibrate, promises to disturb them, and they turn away from it with anything as strong as, to make them more sturdy, they hate it like a rain-affected and he heard thunder and then put his fingers in his ears for fear of death, this person still has the possibility only salvation. As for those hypocrites, where did they gain salvation, but God Subhaanahu wa Ta'ala watched them both with abilities and knowledge of [his] and they will not be separated from Him and not be able to weaken him, even he keep the act- their actions, then reward it with the due penalty.

And when they were tested with deafness, blindness and silence meaningful and closing of doors for their faith, Allah says {ولو شاء الله لذهب بسمعهم وأبصارهم} "If God so willed, He destroy their hearing and vision" that is real, in terms of This is an act to frighten them, and warning of punishment of the world, so they are careful and take lessons from some of the crime and their kenifaqan. {إن الله على كل شيء قدير} "Verily Allah has power over all things" He is not weak against anything, and among his dominion is that if he wants something, surely He did without any hindrance and without any hindrance.

In this verse and verses that semisalnya there is an answer to al-Qadariyah who argued that their actions are not included in the power of God Subhaanahu wa Ta'ala, for their deeds, including part of the things that go in the word His {إن الله على كل شيء قدير} "Verily Allah has power over all things"
