Originator - 35:22 Nor the living and the dead are one. Allah makes whomsoever He wills to hear. You cannot make those in the graves hear.
Allah likens those who turn away from the Message to the dead:
The Romans/30:52 You cannot make the dead to hear, nor can you make the deaf to hear the call as they turn their backs.

Originator/35:22 Nor the living and the dead are one. Allah makes whomsoever He wills to hear. You cannot make those in the graves hear.

Yaseen/36:70 It warns the living and exposes the disbelievers.
