English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
And when thou recitest the Qur’an, We put between thee and those who believe not in the Hereafter a hidden veil;

And when thou recitest the Quran, We put between thee and those who believe not in the Hereafter a hidden veil;[1975]
Commentary:
The 'veil' mentioned in this verse is the veil sometime of malice and envy, at another time of a false sense of dignity and racial pride, at yet another time of the fear of loss of social position and income, or again it is the veil of a long-standing custom and belief fondly and firmly held that stands in the way of the acceptance of truth by disbelievers, etc. It is a hidden veil which disbelievers themselves do not clearly see and appreciate.
