Question:
May Allah prolong your life. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Anfal 8:24] Exegesis of the verse
Answer:
Yes, Allah punishes the human being by not granting him success in repentance, and not granting him success in accepting the truth, as a punishment for him. Because when he turned away from the truth and did not accept it in the first instance, he is subsequently punished by having his heart corrupted. So when they came, they came to Allah with their hearts corrupted as a punishment for them. They came, he said, they came, meaning they turned away from the truth and did not accept it, rejecting it for their desires and lusts. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, punished them by not allowing them to return to the truth[Al-Baqarah 2:18] This is a punishment. We ask Allah for safety.
[Al-An'am 6:110], so if the truth becomes clear to a person and he rejects it and does not accept it, he will not be granted success for it thereafter. We ask Allah for safety. It is a punishment for him.

Deaf, dumb and blind - so they will not return [to the right path].
صُمٌّ بُكْمٌ عُمْيٌ فَهُمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَAnd We will turn away their hearts and their eyes just as they refused to believe in it the first time
وَنُقَلِّبُ أَفْئِدَتَهُمْ وَأَبْصَارَهُمْ كَمَا لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ
