If Allah has sealed the hearts of the Kuffar i.e. non-Muslims, then why are
they to be blamed for not accepting Islam?
"As to those who reject Faith, it is the same to them Whether thou warn them or
do not warn them; they will not believe.
Allah hath set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing, and on their eyes is a
veil; great is the penalty they (incur)." [Al-Qur’an 2:6-7]
These verses do not refer to common Kuffar who reject faith. The Arabic words
used are al-lazina kafaroo, those who are bent on rejecting the truth. It will not
make any difference to such people whether you warn them or not, they will not
believe. Allah has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing and on their
eyes is a veil. It is not because Allah has set a seal on their hearts that these
kuffar do not understand and believe, but it is the vice-versa. It is because these
kuffar are bent on rejecting the truth and whether you warn them or not they will
not believe, that Allah has set a seal on their hearts. Therefore Allah is not to
blame, but these kuffaar who are bent on rejecting the faith are responsible.
