Hazrat Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmud Ahmad 32 That is, for the disbelievers it is alike whether you warn them or warn them not; they will not listen. Until they pay heed, it is as if they have a seal set upon their hearts and ears. The people referred to in the former part of the verse are the same as the ones about whom Allah the Exalted says that there is a seal set upon their hearts and ears. God Almighty has blessed every human being with a spiritual capacity. However, they are responsible if they fail to utilise it or if they waste it. Therefore, those who do not contemplate and follow God Almighty’s words, despite being informed of them, lose their capabilities; then, it is alike whether you warn them or not. Such people are not hamstrung by an inability to seek guidance, rather they choose to go astray themselves. warn them or warn them not—they will not believe. Allah has set a seal on their hearts and their ears, and over their eyes is a covering; and for them is a great punishment. Surah Al-Baqarah , 2:7-8 [Publishers]
