Commentary 17:45 Hijâban Mastûraحِجَابًا مَّسْتُورًا - means, an impregnable screen or hidden barrier. This is the aversion of those who do not believe in the Hereafter.…
وَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ جَعَلْنَا بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ حِجَابًا مَّسْتُورًا
17:45 Hijâban Mastûraحِجَابًا مَّسْتُورًا - means, an impregnable screen or hidden barrier. This is the aversion of those who do not believe in the Hereafter. This passage is connected with verse 41 where we read: وَمَا يَزِيدُهُمْ إِلَّا نُفُورًا “it increases them only in aversion”. Allâh “cover(s) their hearts with veils and plug(s) their ears with something heavy, lest they should understand it” because of this aversion (cf. 2:7; 6:25; 7:179).
