The Holy Quran 47:23 — Surah Muhammad

Arabic text

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ فَأَصَمَّهُمْ وَأَعْمَىٰٓ أَبْصَـٰرَهُمْ

Translation

These (Munaafiqeen) are the people whom Allaah has cursed (cast far from His mercy because of their pride and stubbornness), has deafened (to the truth) and made blind (so that they do not see what is right).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The curse of Allah made them utterly hard-hearted. And all of this came about through their own evil choice and their deficient capacity [to accept the truth].
