Tafsīr

قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

کافران لجوج در بن‌بست گمراهی

مراد از کافران در این آیه» همة کافران نیستند؛ بلکه کسانی هستند که بر کفر ثابت‌اند و انکار و تکذیب حق بر دل‌های آنان چیره شده است و از هیچ تلاشی برای دشمنی و لجاجت با دین خدا مضایقه نمی‌کنند؛ مانند سران کافر قریش که تا آخرین لحظة زندگیشان از دشمنی با پیامبر(ص) دست بر نداشتند.! طبق آیة ۶ سورةٌ شعراء چنین کسانی چون گناه تمام قلبشان را سیاه کرده و هیچ راهی برای درمان آنها نمانده» در مقابل پیامبران می‌گویند: «.. برای ما تفاوت نمی‌کند که ما را انذار کنی یا انذار نکنی.» خداوند نیز در أَیةٌ ۶ سورةٌ بقره در بارة آنان می‌فرماید: «برای آنان تفاوت نمی‌کند که آنان را بترسانی یا نترسانی.»

al-Mīzānalso covers 7

al-Mīzān

The "sealing" (khatm) is God's just law (sunna), not arbitrary compulsion: turning from guidance hardens the faculty — consistent with Adl (God wrongs none) and the Qurʾān's own account of cause and recompense.

Majmaʿ al-Bayānalso covers 7

Ẓāhir (apparent)

The two verses are read as one unit on those who have settled into denial: warning them or not is alike, for God has sealed their hearts and hearing, and a veil is on their sight — a sealing that is the consequence of their own persistent rejection, not a cause imposed before it.
