إِلَيْكَ ۖ
وَجَعَلْنَا
عَلَىٰ
قُلُوبِهِمْ

Among them are some who [appear to] listen to you, but we have placed covers over their hearts- so they do not understand the Quran- and deafness in their ears. Even if they saw every sign they would not believe in them. So, when they come to you, they argue with you: the disbelievers say, ‘These are nothing but ancient fables,’
