Only those who hear will respond. But the dead - Allāh will resurrect them; then to Him they will be returned.

Only those who can hear will respond; as for the dead, God will raise them up, and to Him they will all be returned.

It is only those who listen (to the Message of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), will respond (benefit from it), but as for the dead (i.e. disbelievers), Allâh will raise them up, then to Him they will be returned (for their recompense).
