Do you then hope that they would believe in you, and a party from among them indeed used to hear the Word of Allah, then altered it after they had understood it, and they know (this).

And there are those of them who hear you, but can you make the deaf to hear though they will not understand?

Have they not travelled in the land so that they should have hearts with which to understand, or ears with which to hear? For surely it is not the eyes that are blind, but blind are the hearts which are in the breasts.

And they shall say: Had we but listened or pondered, we should not have been among the inmates of the burning fire.
