22. 1. This matter has been stated in another place in the Noble Quran as follows: (لَهُمْ قُلُوْبٌ لَّا يَفْقَهُوْنَ بِهَا ۡ وَلَهُمْ اَعْيُنٌ لَّا يُبْصِرُوْنَ بِهَا ۡ وَلَهُمْ اٰذَانٌ لَّا يَسْمَعُوْنَ بِهَا ۭاُولٰۗىِٕكَ كَالْاَنْعَامِ بَلْ هُمْ اَضَلُّ اُولٰۗىِٕكَ هُمُ الْغٰفِلُوْنَ) 7. Al-A'raf:179) They have hearts, but they do not understand with them; they have eyes, but they do not see with them; and they have ears, but they do not hear with them. They are like cattle, rather they are even more astray. These people are heedless (of Allah).
