Tafsir of verse 7
Al-Mukhtasar
“And whenever I called them towards that which meant forgiveness for their sins, i.e. worshipping You alone, obedience to You and Your Messenger, they blocked their ears with their fingers so that they could not hear my call. They also covered their faces with their clothes so that they could not see me, and they continued in their ascribing partners to you, showing arrogance in not accepting my call to them or submitting to it.”
Every time I call them so that You may forgive them, they thrust their fingers into their ears and cover their faces with their garments2, and persist in obstinacy and grow extremely arrogant.
