Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

As for the hypocrites, the revelation of the Qur’ān with its laws and stories increases them in sickness and wickedness because of their rejection of what is revealed, so that these deplorable characteristics become fixed in them; and the disease of their hearts increase with the revelation of the Qur’ān, because whenever something is revealed they are sceptical about it.
