Ayah: 179

وَلَقَدۡ ذَرَأۡنَا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثِيرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ وَٱلۡإِنسِۖ لَهُمۡ قُلُوبٞ لَّا يَفۡقَهُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمۡ أَعۡيُنٞ لَّا يُبۡصِرُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمۡ ءَاذَانٞ لَّا يَسۡمَعُونَ بِهَآۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ كَٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ بَلۡ هُمۡ أَضَلُّۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰفِلُونَ

179. We have destined many of the jinn and humans for Gehinnom 'Hell'. They have hearts with which they do not understand, eyes with which they do not see, and ears with which they do not hear36. They are as cattle. Rather, they are more astray. These are the heedless ones.

36. As they fail to use their faculties of discernment and understanding which Allāh endowed them with to get at the Truth and follow the guidance of Allāh.
