And among them, there are who listen into you, and We have made upon their hearts a lid for not to understand It, and a veil in their ears and even if they see every verse, they would not believe with them, until they come to you, they will argue with you, those who disbelieved are saying: "Indeed, this is nothing except the tales of ancestors".
This verse addresses the disbelievers at the time of Messenger. Some of the disbelievers were listening to Messenger’s speech. They always asked the Messenger why these verses are not given to us as a Book written in the paper as explained in verse 6: 7. As explained in verse 25: 5 they always said about Lord's Book that It is the tales of ancestors which is written down, and are recited upon Messenger by someone in the dusk and dawn. It is told in verses 16: 24-25: 'When the disbelievers are asked that what their Lord has sent down, they will reply that the tales of the ancestors. So they may bear their burdens fully on the Day of Judgment, and some of the burdens of those whom they had misguided without Knowledge. Know that, what an evil they are bearing".
It is told in verses 17: 45-26: "When you recite this Reading Lord will make an invisible veil between you and those who disbelieved in the Hereafter. Lord has made a lid on their hearts for not understanding It and a veil in their ears". It is told in verse 18: 57: "Who is more wrongdoer than the one who is reminded with verses of his Lord, then turns away from them and forgets what his own hands prepared? Lord has made lid over their hearts so that they can’t understand It, and a veil is made in their hearing, and so if you are calling them to the Guidance, they will never become guided".
Today, the Arabic Quran reading Fujjar are only reading these verses. They have made their food 'rejecting Adhikr' as told in verse 56: 82. The hypocritical transgressors can’t understand the Speech of the Lord Adhikr as explained in verse 4: 78. The Fujjar are deaf, dumb, and blind, and they will never return into the Straightpath and Paradise as explained in verse 2: 18. They are the worst creatures since they do not hear Adhikr even though they are having ears, and are dumb for talking about Lord’s Book Adhikr as explained in verse 8: 22. They will be dragged prone on their faces into Hell, they are in the worst place and they are the most strayed as explained in verses 25: 33-34. Verses 8: 31; 23: 83, and 27: 68 end as: "Indeed, this is nothing except the tales of ancestors". And verse 46: 17 ends as: "This is nothing except the tales of ancestors". See explanation 2: 6-7, 186; 4: 63, 78, and 118.
