In this Ayat, Allah is telling us what happens if we do not use His gifts appropriately. For example, Allah gave us legs to walk. If we choose to sit for long periods without walking, Allah may allow our legs to lose their ability to walk. Similarly, if we do not use our heart, hearing, and sight to contemplate and reflect upon the Quran, Allah may allow these faculties to lose their ability to understand the Quran. Allah did not intentionally ta...See more

In the Quranic concept, the heart is located in the chest, as Allah described the hearts by saying: 'the hearts within the breasts' (Al-Hajj 46). However, the heart is not limited to the known muscle; the piece of flesh mentioned by the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is only a representation of the heart at the physical level. From divine revelation, starting with this noble ayah, 'Allah has sealed their hearts,' we learn that the heart has a reality...See more

Sometimes when you tell the truth, you can literally see the seal over someone’s heart.
You explain it clearly.
You explain it gently.
You explain it again in a different way.
And still… it does not enter.
Allah says in the Quran:
“Allah has sealed their hearts and their hearing, and their sight is covered. They will suffer a tremendous punishment.” (2:7)
Not every heart is open. And that is something we have to accept.
There is a hadith wh...See more

Allah’s Rahmah is so vast and at the same time, there is a dangerous 'tipping point.'
If someone is constantly and arrogantly going against Allah and harming His creation, they risk their hearts being sealed.
As we see in Surah Al-Baqarah, Allah can place a seal on the hearts of those who persist in transgression. It’s a scary reminder that while the door to tawbah is open, we shouldn’t take it for granted, because constant oppression can even...See more

To seal something prevents anything from coming in and anything from coming out. A sealed heart means no good comes in, and no evil leaves , may Allah protect us.

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Especially Merciful,
I had read a few translations of the Qur’an several times during my teenage years. I was marvelled by the science of the Qur’an. Yet, I didn’t really contemplate about the Prophets peace be upon them all, the Day of Judgment and death.
