to these things hardens the heart and removes from it all fear, which is exactly

“…They have hearts, with which they cannot understand;” Koran Ch. 7 verse
179. having had in mind the meaning of belief, not of legal opinions.

profoundly discerning man is he who has not induced people to despair of the
Mercy of Allah; nor made them feel safe (rather than urge them to repent) during
the period of respite, which Allah, out of patience, gives to mankind, nor made
beware.” Koran Ch. 9 verse122.
