Reflections on Surah Al-Anbiya Ayah 3

21:3
لاهية قلوبهم واسروا النجوى الذين ظلموا هل هاذا الا بشر مثلكم افتاتون السحر وانتم تبصرون ٣
لَاهِيَةًۭ قُلُوبُهُمْ ۗ وَأَسَرُّوا۟ ٱلنَّجْوَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ هَلْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا بَشَرٌۭ مِّثْلُكُمْ ۖ أَفَتَأْتُونَ ٱلسِّحْرَ وَأَنتُمْ تُبْصِرُونَ ٣
لَاهِيَةٗﱕ
قُلُوبُهُمۡۗﱖﱗ
وَأَسَرُّواْﱘ

I heard Imam Omar Suleiman say this in a lecture I was listening to yesterday. This prompted me to look up ayahs that contain the word 'distracted' (noted below).

Can you think of any other ayahs that pertain to distractions? Do you have any advice or tips for people (like me 😳) who area easily distracted? Please share with us in the comments below. I'd love to hear from QuranRef...
