Al-Anfaal (The Spoils of War)

23. “And if Allah had known any good in them, He would have made them hear; and (even) if He had made them hear, they would have turned away, swerving aside.”

Obstinate persons are divided into several groups. Some of them are not ready even to listen to the truth. The revelation about them is recited:

“And those who disbelieved said: Do not listen to this Qur’an...” (Surah Fussilat, No. 41, verse 26)

Some of these obstinate persons listen and understand it, but they distort it.

Some others have not the ability of discrimination because of their innate extra attachments, envies, enmities and callous nesses. The verse says:

“And if Allah had known any good in them He would have made them hear; and (even) if He had made them hear, they would have turned away, swerving aside.”

Therefore, we must seek for the facilities of enjoying of Allah's grace in ourselves.
