Surah Al-Araf, Verse 101 and 102

﷽

*Surah Al-Araf, Verse 101:*

تِلْكَ الْقُرَىٰ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ أَنبَائِهَا وَلَقَدْ جَاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَمَا كَانُوا لِيُؤْمِنُوا بِمَا كَذَّبُوا مِن قَبْلُ كَذَٰلِكَ يَطْبَعُ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِ الْكَافِرِينَ

Those were the towns whose story We relate unto you (O Muhammad [Blessings and Peace of ALLĀH be upon him]). And there came indeed to them their Messengers with clear proofs, but they were not such as to believe in that which they had rejected before. Thus Allah does seal up the hearts of the disbelievers (from each and every kind of religious guidance).

#COMMENTARY

Those who have heard the Message and rejected it find it more difficult afterwards to retrace their steps. Evil has blocked the channels of Almighty ALLĀH's grace to them. It begins with their breaking their Covenant with Almighty ALLĀH (Sub-haanahu wata'aala); with each step afterwards they fall deeper and deeper into the mire.

 *Surah Al-Araf, Verse 102:*

وَمَا وَجَدْنَا لِأَكْثَرِهِم مِّنْ عَهْدٍ وَإِن وَجَدْنَا أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَفَاسِقِينَ

And most of them We found not (true) to their covenant, but most of them We found indeed Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah).
