وَ قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ لَوْ لَا یُكَلِّمُنَا اللّٰهُ اَوْ تَاْتِیْنَاۤ اٰیَةٌؕ-كَذٰلِكَ قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ مِّثْلَ قَوْلِهِمْؕ-تَشَابَهَتْ قُلُوْبُهُمْؕ-قَدْ بَیَّنَّا الْاٰیٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ یُّوْقِنُوْنَ(118)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

And the ignorant said, “Why does Allah not speak to us or why does a sign not come to us?” Those who preceded them also said something similar, so then their hearts became the same.[1] Indeed, We have clearly stated signs for people of certainty.

Commentary

[1]

The imitation of disbelievers in terms of their social etiquette, dress code, and general demeanour is not allowed, as the apparent is a sign of the inner state; the apparent can influence the inner condition and hence complete avoidance of the way of the disbelievers is required, lest their apparent state affects the inner condition of the Muslims.
