2:7 Allah has sealed their hearts and their ears, and over their vision are covers. And for them is a great punishment .
[KhatmorTaba’ from Allah, seal on the hearts, is a natural consequence of one’s deeds.
Blind following, adamancy, being unjust due to selfish interests and arrogance render the human perception and reasoning unreceptive to Divine revelation.
Thus, one loses sensitivity and the ability to perceive reality. It is easy to see how damaging this fall from the high stature of humanity can be, a tremendous suffering that is built-in as the logical consequence of such attitude.
4:88. What is the matter with you that you are divided into two groups over the hypocrites, while Allah has regressed them for what they have earned? Can you guide anyone against Allah law? Do you seek to find a way of enlightenment for those who violate Allah laws of guidance?
17:46. And we place shields over their hearts, that they should not understand it, and a deafness in their ears. And if you mention your Rabb in the Qur'an alone, they run away turning their backs in aversion.
(NOTE: Those who do not acknowledge the hereafter with certainty will not understand the Quran, and they will claim that the Quran is difficult or even impossible to understand on its own.
54:17.And We made the Qur'an easy to remember. Are there any who want to learn?
54:40. We made the Quran easy to learn. Do any of you wish to learn?*
They wish to hear about their saints and ‘Imams’)
18:57. And who is more wicked than he who was reminded of the revelations of his Rabb but he turned away from them, and he forgot what his hands had done. We have made veils upon their hearts from understanding it, and a deafness in their ears. And if you invite them to the guidance, they will never be guided.
40:35. Those who dispute about the revelations of Allah without any authority that has come to them, it is greatly abhorred with God and with those who believe. Allah thus seals the hearts of every arrogant tyrant.
45:23. Have you seen the one who took his desire as his Allah, and Allah led him astray, despite his knowledge, and He sealed his hearing and his heart, and He made a veil on his eyes? Who then can guide him after Allah ? Will you not remember?
[Note: 17:36. And do not uphold what you have no knowledge of; for the hearing, eyesight, and heart - all these you are responsible for.
32:9. Then He evolved him, and blew into him from His Spirit. And He made for you the hearing, the eyesight, and the hearts; rarely are you thankful.
46:26. And We had established them in the same way as We established you, and provided them with hearing, and eyesight, and hearts. But their hearing, eyesight, and hearts did not help them at all. This is because they used to disregard the revelations of Allah, and they will be surrounded by that which they used to mock.
83:14. No,a covering has been placed on their hearts for what they have earned.]
2:8 And from the people are those who say: "We believe in Allah and in the Last Day," but they are not believers.
[Their actions that speak louder than words, contradict their claim.
4:136. O you who believe; believe in Allah and His messenger, and the Book which was sent down to His messenger, and the Book which was sent before. And whoever rejects Allah, and His angels, and His Books, and His messengers, and the Last Day; then he has strayed a far straying.
Note the believers being called to belief! 2:8, 2:177. Piety is not to turn your faces towards the east and the west, but pious is one who believes in Allah and the Last Day, and the angels, and the Book, and the prophets, and who gives money out of love to the relatives, and the orphans, and the needy, and the wayfarer, and those who ask, and to free the slaves; and who upholds the contact prayer, and who contributes towards purification; and those who keep their pledges when they make a pledge, and those who are patient in the face of adversity and hardship and when in despair. These are the ones who have been truthful, and these are the righteous.
49:15. Believers are those who believe in Allah and His messenger, then they became without doubt, and they strive with their money and their lives in the cause of Allah. These are the truthful ones.
The wishful thinking of being Muslims or believers ‘by birth’ carries no weight in the Sight of Allah,
2:62. Surely those who believe; and those who are Jewish, and the Nazarenes, and the Sabians, whoever of them believes in Allah and the Last Day and does good works; they will have their recompense with their Rabb, and there is no fear upon them, nor will they grieve.]
