Al-Mutaffifin 83:14–17
A stain over their hearts
كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ ۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ ١٤ كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ ١٥ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا۟ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ١٦ ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ١٧
The meaning, simply
No! Rather, the sins they used to commit have covered their hearts. No! That Day they will be screened off from seeing their Lord, then they will burn in Hellfire, and it will be said: 'This is what you used to deny.'

Think with me
A sin leaves a stain, and asking forgiveness wipes it away. What do we say to ask forgiveness?
