Surah Al-Baqarah (2:159)

اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ يَكۡتُمُوۡنَ مَآ اَنۡزَلۡنَا مِنَ الۡبَيِّنٰتِ وَالۡهُدٰى مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ مَا بَيَّنّٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ فِى الۡكِتٰبِۙ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ يَلۡعَنُهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَ يَلۡعَنُهُمُ اللّٰعِنُوۡنَۙ‏ ۝

Inna allatheena yaktumoona maanzalna mina albayyinati walhuda minbaAAdi ma bayyannahu linnasi feealkitabi ola-ika yalAAanuhumu AllahuwayalAAanuhumu allaAAinoon

Indeed, those who conceal what We sent down of clear proofs and guidance after We made it clear for the people in the Scripture - those are cursed by Allāh and cursed by those who curse,

Tadabbur (Reflection)

Theme of the Ayat

The Curse of Concealment: Hiding clear signs and guidance for worldly gain.

The Insight

This warns those who conceal the clear proofs and guidance revealed in the Scripture, leading to divine anger from God and the curse of all creation. Be an active vessel of truth. Never conceal vital knowledge (especially about ethics, justice, or faith) to protect your status, finances, or ego. This is a severe corruption that invites universal rejection.
