The Holy Quran 40:35 — Surah Ghafir

Arabic text

ٱلَّذِينَ يُجَـٰدِلُونَ فِىٓ ءَايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ سُلْطَـٰنٍ أَتَىٰهُمْ ۖ كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَعِندَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَطْبَعُ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ قَلْبِ مُتَكَبِّرٍ جَبَّارٍ

Translation

"...those who dispute about Allaah's Aayaat without any warrant (justification) coming to them. This is extremely detestable in the sight of Allaah and in the sight of those who have Imaan. Thus (by allowing people to continue their evil ways) does Allaah set a seal on the heart of every haughty (proud) and tyrannical (arrogant) person (hence they are unable to accept the truth)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Disputing about the signs of Allah: that is, they stir up disputes about the words of Allah without any proof, whether rational or transmitted. What could be greater transgression and audacity than this? That is why Allah and His believing servants feel intense loathing for such people, and this is the cause of their being utterly accursed.
