Description

The Arabic root صمم (s-m-m) fundamentally means deafness or the inability to hear, and in the Quran it is used both literally and metaphorically to describe those who are deaf to divine guidance and truth. The Quran frequently employs this root to characterize those who willfully refuse to listen to or accept God's message, often pairing it with blindness (عمى) to emphasize spiritual imperception. This usage highlights a critical Quranic theme: that disbelief is not merely an intellectual disagreement but a deliberate closing off of one's faculties to recognize and respond to revelation.
