BENEFIT 229: When the truth is presented, don't delay in accepting it

Allah ﷻ warned: {وَنُقَلِّبُ أَفۡـِٔدَتَهُمۡ وَأَبۡصَـٰرَهُمۡ كَمَا لَمۡ یُؤۡمِنُوا۟ بِهِۦۤ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةࣲ وَنَذَرُهُمۡ فِی طُغۡیَـٰنِهِمۡ یَعۡمَهُونَ} “We shall turn their hearts and eyes away ˹from the truth˺ since they refused to believe in it the first time, and We will leave them to wander blindly in their defiance.” [Sūrah Al-An‘ām 110] Sheikh ‘Abdurrahmān As-Si‘dī raḥimahullāh commented: “That is, We will punish them - if they do not believe when the Messenger first comes to them and establishes proof against them - by turning their hearts away and preventing them from believing, and by not guiding them to follow the straight path. This is by Allāh’s justice and wisdom concerning His slaves, for they are the ones who have brought it upon themselves. He opened the gate for them, but they did not enter; He showed them the way but they did not follow it. So after that, if they are deprived of guidance, that is appropriate for their condition.” [End of quote] @almanhajussalafi
