We must accept the truth at the first instance, or else this👇🏽 might be our fate:

{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 situation. Moreover, connecting the issue of having faith to their will only, and not relying on Allāh, is one of the most grievous errors. If great signs came to them, such as the angels coming down to them and testifying to the truth of the Messenger, or the dead speaking, or their resurrection after death and the gathering of all things {before them} to speak to them, and they were to see that with their own eyes and touch it with their own hands, to confirm that what the Messenger ﷺ brought is the truth, they still would not believe, if Allāh did not will that they should do so. But most of them are ignorant, hence they connected the issue of their faith to merely seeing the signs. Rather what reason and knowledge dictate is that the individual should aim to follow the truth and to seek truth by means of that which Allāh has explained, and act upon it, seeking the help of his Lord. He should not rely on himself or his own strength, or demand signs in which there is no benefit.”
