Verse 42:23 and how to interpret it, disciplines of interpreting Quran.

[WinterHold]

All I see is somebody going around and around in circles, to complicate what wasn't made to be complicated.
To prove a point that isn't there; maybe?

The original verse along with its contextual preceding and proceeding verses:

Sura 42, The Quran

( 17 )   It is Allah who has sent down the Book in truth and [also] the balance. And what will make you perceive? Perhaps the Hour is near.
( 18 )   Those who do not believe in it are impatient for it, but those who believe are fearful of it and know that it is the truth. Unquestionably, those who dispute concerning the Hour are in extreme error.
( 19 )   Allah is Subtle with His servants; He gives provisions to whom He wills. And He is the Powerful, the Exalted in Might.
( 20 )   Whoever desires the harvest of the Hereafter - We increase for him in his harvest. And whoever desires the harvest of this world - We give him thereof, but there is not for him in the Hereafter any share.
( 21 )   Or have they other deities who have ordained for them a religion to which Allah has not consented? But if not for the decisive word, it would have been concluded between them. And indeed, the wrongdoers will have a painful punishment.
( 22 )   You will see the wrongdoers fearful of what they have earned, and it will [certainly] befall them. And those who have believed and done righteous deeds will be in lush regions of the gardens [in Paradise] having whatever they will in the presence of their Lord. That is what is the great bounty.

( 23 )   It is that of which Allah gives good tidings to His servants who believe and do righteous deeds. Say, "I do not ask you for this message any payment [but] only good will through kinship." And whoever commits a good deed - We will increase for him good therein. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Appreciative.


( 24 )   Or do they say, "He has invented about Allah a lie"? But if Allah willed, He could seal over your heart. And Allah eliminates falsehood and establishes the truth by His words. Indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts.
( 25 )   And it is He who accepts repentance from his servants and pardons misdeeds, and He knows what you do.
( 26 )   And He answers [the supplication of] those who have believed and done righteous deeds and increases [for] them from His bounty. But the disbelievers will have a severe punishment.

What in hell does this has to do with your OP?

If you have something to say, then say it! don't waste my time, please.
Textual mazes are not my thing.

Why do you come to something so obvious, so straight, so explicit, and complicate it until people hate it and make fun of your disgusting logic?
I don't know you in real life, but that is one nasty trait.

Be honest: be obvious.
And please copy-paste authentic real sections of the book you speak about.
