Allaah does not force people into kufr

Allaah does not force people into kufr
We read in many aayahs of the Qur’aan that Allaah says that He places a veil over the hearts of the kaafirs and a seal over their eyes, and He has made them deaf and blind to the truth. We also know that Allaah does not force anyone into kufr, so how can we understand these aayahs?


 

Praise be to Allaah.
 

 

Shaykh al-Shanqeeti (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:  

The answer is that Allaah has explained in many verses of His
Book those impediments which have been placed on their hearts, ears and
eyes, such as seals and veils, have been placed on them as a suitable
recompense for their previous kufr and for their disbelieving in the
Messengers by choice. So Allaah has turned their hearts away by placing upon
them a seal and veils etc, as a punishment for their kufr. Among the aayahs
that indicate that is the verse (interpretation of the meaning): 

“Allaah has set a seal upon their hearts because of their
disbelief”

[al-Nisaa’ 4:155] 

This a clear Qur’aanic text which states that their previous
kufr is the reason for the seal upon their hearts. And Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning): 

“So when they turned away (from the path of Allaah),
Allaah turned their hearts away (from the Right Path)”

[al-Saff 61:5] 

This is also a clear indication that the reason why Allaah
has turned their hearts away is their initial turning away. Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning): 

“That is because they believed, and then disbelieved;
therefore their hearts are sealed, so they understand not”

[al-Munaafiqoon :3] 

“In their hearts is a disease (of doubt and hypocrisy) and
Allaah has increased their disease”

[al-Baqarah 2:10] 

“And We shall turn their hearts and their eyes away (from
guidance), as they refused to believe therein for the first time, and We
shall leave them in their trespass to wander blindly”

[al-An’aam 6:110] 

“Nay! But on their hearts is the Raan (covering of sins
and evil deeds) which they used to earn”

[al-Mutaffifeen 83:14] 

and there are other aayahs which speak of the seal on their
hearts and say that their being prevented from understanding that which may
benefit them is a punishment for their previous kufr. What we have mentioned
here is a refutation of the specious arguments of the Jabariyyah who
continually refer to these aayahs and others from the Holy Qur’aan.

Following note from Muslim Quran online Blog 

The first lesson to be learned by all Muslims is the importance of the Reading Quran Online. All Muslim should learn holy Quran online  is the Book of Allah All mighty. Every word which the quran reciter recites or he read quran is the word of Allah it is mentioned in Quran in Arabic that it is the guidance which has come from Allah. That is why we as Muslim say it is the Holy Book. We should  learn quran and focus on quran teaching thought by the quran tutor to the students and the tutor should arrange the kids quran lessons in such an easy manner so they can understand it easily and make there quran recitation online as beautiful as he could and teach them that the words of Koran were sent by Allah to our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAWW) through the angel Jibraeel. And further more elaborate wile reading quran with teaching them the quran tafseer and the tajweed quran with its rules let then do quran memorization in the proper manner We as Muslim should respect the teachings of Quran and in every other manner when we are reading it or when we listen to Quran  wake up Muslims and spread the word of Islam to
