23 Preface أُولٰئِكَ الَّذينَ لَعَنَهُمُ اللَّهُ فَأَصَمَّهُم وَأَعمىٰ أَبصارَهُمYusuf AliSuch are the men whom God has cursed1 for He has made them deaf and blinded their sight.Cursed: i.e., deprived of His Grace: left them straying, because they deliberately rejected His guidance. The result is that what they hear is as if they had not heard, and what they see is as if they had not seen. They have no desire to understand God’s Will or God’s Revelation?or is it that they have themselves locked and bolted their hearts and minds, so that nothing can penetrate them?
