Question: Is there a marked difference between......

[abjad]

........ the person who listens to Allah's Revelations sincerely with an open mind and ponders over them seriously and the person who listens to them resolved that he would deny them, and then persists in the resolve already made without any serious thought.

 

[Hassan]

Of course. One is a believer, one is an atheist. One is guided by Allah swt, one has had a seal placed over his heart.

Fabi-ayyi ala-i rabbikuma tukaththiban
Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?
(Surat Ar-Rahman 55:13)
