EARS:
6:25 - Of them there are some who (pretend to) listen to thee; but We have thrown veils on their
hearts so they understand it not and deafness in their ears; if they saw every one of the Signs
not they will believe in them; in so much that when they come to thee they (but) dispute with
thee; the unbelievers say: "These are nothing but tales of the ancients."
17:46 - And We put coverings over their hearts (and minds) lest they should understand the Qur'an
and deafness into their ears: when thou dost commemorate thy Lord and Him alone in the
Qur'an they turn on their backs fleeing (from the Truth). 2231
2231 The invisible veil being put against the ungodly on account of their deliberate rejection of Truth, the result is that their
minds are fogged so that they cannot understand and their ears are clogged so that they cannot hear. In other words
the effects of Evil become cumulative in shutting out Allah's grace. (17.46)
18:57 - Verily We have set veils over their hearts lest they should understand this and over their
ears deafness. If thou callest them to guidance even then will they never accept guidance.

2401 Considering the power of sin, and how it gets hold of the hearts of men, and considering all the wrongs that men have
done, it is the height of folly and injustice on their part to turn away from warnings which are given expressly for their
good. But a stage of callousness is reached, when, by their own choice, they have rendered themselves impervious to
Allah's Grace. At that stage a veil is put over their hearts and they are left alone for a time, that they may commune
with themselves and perhaps repent and seek Allah's Mercy again. If they do not, it is their own loss. See next verse.

Fiqh-us-Sunnah
Fiqh 1.32b
Wiping the ears
The sunnah is to wipe the interior of the ears with the index fingers and the exterior portions with the thumbs. The water used
to wipe the head is also used for the ears, as the ears are part of the head. Al-Miqdam ibn Ma'd Yakrih reported that the
Prophet, upon whom be peace, wiped his head and his ears, the interior and exterior, while making ablution. He also put his
finger inside his ear. (Related by Abu Dawud and at-Tahawi.)
While describing the ablution of the Prophet, upon whom be peace, Ibn 'Umar said, "He wiped his head and ears with one
wipe." (Related by Ahmad and Abu Dawud.) In one narration it states, "He wiped the inner portion of his ears with his index
finger, and the outer portion with his thumb."

5. He should insert his index fingers into his ears. Talking of his practice, Bilal said, "I put my index fingers into my ears
and made the adhan. (Related by Abu Dawud and Ibn Hibban.)
Says at-Tirmidhi, "The scholars prefer the callers to put their index fingers into their ears while making the adhan."
41:5 - They say: "Our hearts are under veils (concealed) from that to which thou dost invite us and in ours
ears in a deafness and between us and thee is a screen: so do thou (what thou wilt); for us we shall do (what
we will!)." 44654466
4466 This is either a superiority complex adopting the sarcastic tone of an inferiority complex, or it expresses calculated
indifference to spiritual teaching. In effect it says: 'Our hearts and minds are not intelligent enough to understand your
noble ideas, nor our ears sufficiently acute to hear their exposition: you and we are quite different; there is a gulf
between us. Why worry about us? You go your way, and we shall go ours!' (41.5)
4467 The reply is in effect: that the bringer of the Message is not an angel nor a god, and so there can and ought to be no
barrier between him and his hearers; but he has been chosen to bring a Message of Truth and Hope to them; they
should accept the Gospel of Unity, and by Repentance, obtain Allah's Grace and Forgiveness. (41.6)
41:20- At length when they reach the (Fire) their hearing their sight and their skins will bear witness
against them as to (all) their deeds. 4487
4487 All the members of their bodies and the faculties of their minds, which they misused, will bear witness against them.
Similarly, in xxxvi. 65, their hands and their feet bear witness against them. The "skin" not only includes the sense of
touch (which is so often misused in sex), but also the sense of taste and the sense of smell, which are specialised
forms of the organ of touch. All the sensory organs, and all their intellectual and emotional counterparts advance us by
their use and pull us down by their misuse. They become tell-tale witnesses against us if abused. (41.20)
