6:125
فَمَن
يُرِدِ
اللَّهُ
أَن
يَهْدِيَهُ
يَشْرَحْ
صَدْرَهُ
لِلْإِسْلَامِ
وَمَن
يُرِدْ
أَن
يُضِلَّهُ
يَجْعَلْ
صَدْرَهُ
ضَيِّقًا
حَرَجًا
كَأَنَّمَا
يَصَّعَّدُ
فِي
السَّمَاءِ
كَذَلِكَ
يَجْعَلُ
اللَّهُ
الرِّجْسَ
عَلَى
الَّذِينَ
لَا
يُؤْمِنُونَ

God will open the hearts of whomever He wants to guide to Islam, but He will tighten the chest of one whom He has led astray, as though he was climbing high up into the sky. Thus, God places wickedness on those who do not accept the faith.
