88.
وَقَالُوا۟ قُلُوبُنَا غُلْفٌۢ ۚ بَل لَّعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِكُفْرِهِمْ
فَقَلِيلًا مَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ |

88. Wa qaaluu quluubunaa

88. And they say: Our hearts are enfolded in covers.
Nay, but Allah has cursed them for their unbelief. Little is that which they
believe. |
Gulfun – (enfolded in covers), ‘aglaf is its singular. It means, “Covered thing”, the thing, which is enfolded in cover and hidden in the curtain. The Children of Israel used to claim that their hearts are enfolded in covers and filled with the teachings of Prophet Moses (peace be upon him). So they did not need to accept any new teachings.
La-‘anahumUllaahu – (Allaah has cursed them), La’-nat means distance from the Mercy, someone’s deprival from God Almighty’s Grace and Mercy. It is also called the curse as that person is ignored by all.
Qaliilan – (Little), it signifies that they used to pay a little attention towards the belief; off and on and only a few people, some out of them used to believe. Majority was inclined towards dishonesty, faithlessness and violence.
When God Almighty fixed the self fabricated faiths of the Jews that those were False and the Word of Allaah Almighty proved them wrong clearly, then there was no trick or argument remained with the Children of Israel. They began to say that their hearts were enfolded in the covers and nothing could effect on their hearts. They would never obey or become loyal to the instructions of anyone else.
The Jews used to state their false proof with much pride but God Almighty proclaimed clearly that they were totally liars. There is no any enfolded cover. But Allaah Almighty has cursed them for their chained unbelief and its covers have enfolded their hearts. They have been removed from His Mercy and Kindness. So they do not believe in their true religion. From them, only a few people have believed in the Last Messenger Muhammad (grace, peace and blessings on Him).
It is known from this verse that if the mankinds either deny the
Revelations of God Almighty or change them or transpose the words between them,
or disobey continuously, then Allaah Almighty curses them. The
individual like this cannot draw his attention towards the Religion and Belief.
