Muslims gtfih - Help with quran translation/reading

[Joeseminate]

Today I got the quran from one of those tents (uk and european niggas will know) for free first page what does this mean.

Surah 2: al-Baqarah
6:Those, however, who reject (the truth), it makes no difference to them whetether you warn them or warn them not, they will not believe.
7: Allah has sealed their hearts and their hearing ears and placed a blindfold over their eyes, and severe punishment awaits them.

Does this mean allah created them just to torment them or am I missing something?

There is something called ‘tafsir’ (تفسیر) in Quranic studies which translates to ‘exegesis’ or ‘commentary’

It explains the context and analyses verses from the Quran

The most popular commentary for Sunni Muslims is Ibn Kathir. One of the greatest Islamic scholars in history. His centuries old writings are still used today as the basis for understanding Islamic Law (Shariah)

According to Ibn Kathir he says about verses 6 and 7 of Surah Baqarah:

وَلَئِنْ أَتَيْتَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ الْكِتَـبَ بِكُلِّ ءَايَةٍ مَّا تَبِعُواْ قِبْلَتَكَ

(And even if you were to bring to the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) all the Ayat, they would not follow your Qiblah (prayer direction)) (2:145)

These Ayat indicate that whomever Allah has written to be miserable, they shall never find anyone to guide them to happiness, and whomever Allah directs to misguidance, he shall never find anyone to guide him. So do not pity them – O Muhammad – deliver the message to them. Certainly, whoever among them accepts the message, then he shall gain the best rewards. As for those who turn away in rejection, do not feel sad for them or concerned about them

`Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn `Abbas said about Allah's statement,

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَأَنذَرْتَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تُنذِرْهُمْ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ

(Verily, those who disbelieve, it is the same to them whether you (O Muhammad) warn them or do not warn them, they will not believe) "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was eager for all the people to believe and follow the guidance he was sent with. Allah informed him that none would believe except for those whom He decreed happiness for in the first place, and none would stray except those who Allah has decreed to do so in the first place."

Allah has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing, and on their eyes there is a covering.
Theirs will be a great torment ( 7 ) Meaning of Khatama As-Suddi said that, خَتَمَ اللَّهُ ( Khatama Allah ) means, "Allah has sealed." Qatadah said that this Ayah means, "Shaytan controlled them when they obeyed him.
Therefore, Allah sealed their hearts, hearing and sight, and they could neither see the guidance nor hear, comprehend or understand."

Al-Qurtubi said, "The Ummah has agreed that Allah has described Himself with sealing and closing the hearts of the disbelievers, as a punishment for their disbelief.
