Response: Knowing the future has nothing to do with going against free will. For once someone chooses something freely, it is very possible for Allah to have known the choice before the individual being that we are his creation. If I, hypothetically speaking, created you to naturally react to things, then it is very possible for me to know your future after you've used your free will to choose. For example, if you are scared of mice, you can, out of your own free will, react a certain way. I can however, know your exact reaction when seeing a mouse, for I've created your mind and knows how it would react. So my knowing the future does not contradict free will.
As for the verse, it refers to those who will reject islam, no matter the warning, as the verse before clearly states. Therefore, Allah seals them from his divine guidance.
If Allah created my mind and my mind refuses to believe in Allah , then it must be Allahs fault that I dont believe in him. yet hes going to punish me for my nature that he created?
Let me ask you is the set of future events fixed or not fixed?
