45 Preface قُل إِنَّما أُنذِرُكُم بِالوَحيِ ۚ وَلا يَسمَعُ الصُّمُّ الدُّعاءَ إِذا ما يُنذَرونَYusuf AliSay, “I do but warn you according to revelation”: But the deaf will not hear the call, (even) when they are warned!1According to the English saying, “none is so deaf as those who will not hear”. When they deliberately shut their ears to the warning from the Merciful God, meant for their own good, the responsibility is their own. But their cowardice is shown in the next verse by their behaviour when the first breath of the Wrath reaches them.
