Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan gives an awesome lecture on some of the Ayats of the esteemed Surah Al Baqarah.
Allah SWT is describing the attributes of pure disbelievers in these Ayahs where He shows the reality of people who refused Muhammad ﷺ and his message. The Prophet ﷺ sincerely desired guidance for them and was worried about them and tried his best to decorate their lives with Islam. Allah SWT says to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ that it does not matter if Muhammad ﷺ had warned them or not, they would still have disbelieved in what you were sent with.Allah SWT tells the Prophet ﷺ to not feel sorry for the people who do not heed. It is not his fault and there will be no blame on him. It is their sheer bad luck that they didn’t pay attention.
Khatama Allahu means, ‘Allah has sealed.’ This Ayah means that Shaytan controlled them when they disobeyed the Prophet ﷺ. Therefore, Allah SWT sealed their hearts, their hearing, and their sight. They could neither see the guidance nor hear or comprehend it. Such was the unfortunate nature of their lives.
