Surah Al-An'am (6:80)

وَحَآجَّهٗ قَوۡمُهٗ ؕ قَالَ اَتُحَآجُّٓونِّىۡ فِى اللّٰهِ وَقَدۡ هَدٰٮنِؕ وَلَاۤ اَخَافُ مَا تُشۡرِكُوۡنَ بِهٖۤ اِلَّاۤ اَنۡ يَّشَآءَ رَبِّىۡ شَيۡـًٔـا ؕ وَسِعَ رَبِّىۡ كُلَّ شَىۡءٍ عِلۡمًاؕ اَفَلَا تَتَذَكَّرُوۡنَ‏ ۝

Wahajjahu qawmuhu qala atuhajjoonneefee Allahi waqad hadani wala akhafu matushrikoona bihi illa an yashaa rabbee shay-anwasiAAa rabbee kulla shay-in AAilman afala tatathakkaroon

And his people argued with him. He said, "Do you argue with me concerning Allāh while He has guided me? And I fear not what you associate with Him and will not be harmed unless my Lord should will something. My Lord encompasses all things in knowledge; then will you not remember?

Tadabbur (Reflection)

Theme of the Ayat

The Retribution of Denial: God leaves the hearts of the stubborn in their obstinacy.

The Insight

Because they rejected the truth the first time, God turns their hearts and vision away from accepting it. **Fear spiritual rigidity.** Persistent rejection of truth causes God to seal the heart. This spiritual turning makes accepting guidance exceedingly difficult later.
