Human beings have a limited capacity for repentance and return to faith. As prejudice and obstinacy increase, individuals reach a point of no return, where their hearts are sealed by God. This sealing is not a sudden event but a gradual process resulting from consistent rejection, denial, and stubbornness. Once sealed, faith becomes impossible. This parallels the Quranic verse in Surah Baqarah, describing those who persistently reject guidance. The sealing affects their hearts, hearing, and vision, leaving them subject to divine punishment.
