The Holy Quran 21:45 — Surah Al-Anbya

Arabic text

قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أُنذِرُكُم بِٱلْوَحْىِ ۚ وَلَا يَسْمَعُ ٱلصُّمُّ ٱلدُّعَآءَ إِذَا مَا يُنذَرُونَ

Translation

Say, "I warn you only with revelation (from Allaah and not with my own words). (However, although the warnings are from Allaah) The deaf (those who do not want to accept what they hear) cannot hear the call when they are warned."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The disbelievers are deaf and do not hear the call to the truth: that is, our task is to deliver the admonition in accordance with divine revelation and to warn of the consequences. If those deaf of heart do not hear this call, the fault is not ours. They themselves will pay the price of their deafness.
