Refrence – Quora user explain: A Black Hole analogy below gives me a precise understanding of the verses mentioned above:
A Black Hole analogy below gives me the precise understanding of the verses mentioned above:
We all know about Black Hole. Let us imagine we are proceeding towards a Black Hole. On the way, there is a circular line around it. Before that line, we could always turn back and return. But if we cross that line, there is no way we could turn back; we must fall into the Black Hole due to its infinite gravity and vanish. That is the line called the point of no return.
A sinner also has a limit – or point of no return. Before that limit, he might feel remorse. Consequently, he might seek God’s forgiveness, and God is always ready to forgive him. But if his sins cross that limit, he will not feel remorse for his sins anymore. That is the point God seals his heart. So, he will never ask for God’s forgiveness, and there is no way he will come back to the right path again, and his destination is bound to be hell.
Please watch the video below- how a Black Hole eats a massive star when it crossed the point of no return.

📖Quran 25:70
Except those who repent, have faith and good deeds, those Allah will charge their sins for good deeds. Certainly Allah is most forgiving and merciful.
This concept is in the Bible too, If you are a Christian you will understand in the light of this verse:
✝️Exodus 11:10
Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
✝️Romans 11:8
God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear unto this day.
✝️John 12:40-42
The Lord has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts— so that their eyes cannot see, and their hearts cannot understand, and they cannot turn to me and have me heal them.
