The Night Journey · Makkah · Juz 15 · Mushaf page 286 of 604

وَإِذَا قَرَأۡتَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ جَعَلۡنَا بَيۡنَكَ وَبَيۡنَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ حِجَابٗا مَّسۡتُورٗا ٤٥

English translation (Saheeh International)

And when you recite the Qur’ān, We put between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter a concealed partition.1

  1. - Preventing guidance from reaching them.

Brief commentary

When you - O Messenger - recite the Qur’ān and they hear the warnings and admonitions it contains, I place between you and those who do not have faith in the Day of Judgment a barrier that prevents them from understanding the Qur’ān, as a punishment for their turning away from it.
