وَمَآ أَنتَ بِهَٰدِ ٱلْعُمْىِ عَن ضَلَٰلَتِهِمْ ۖ إِن تُسْمِعُ إِلَّا مَن يُؤْمِنُ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا فَهُم مُّسْلِمُونَ
10:44; 27:82.
Commentary:
The verse points to another natural law, viz. that it is man himself who makes or mars his destiny. No Prophet or Divine revelation can lead a man to God unless he has the will to listen to truth. He who refuses to listen to truth ends by his heart having been sealed up, but he who is prepared to listen to truth is led up to it. The initiative first must come from man himself, the result then follows from God.
