Sealed Hearts

Has it not become clear to those who inherit the land after its former people that, if We will, We can strike them for their sins and seal their hearts so they do not hear?

7:100Is it not an indication to those who inherit the land after its people (who thus reaped the consequence of evil-doing) that, if We will, We can smite them for their sins and print upon their hearts so that they hear not?

Among them are those who listen to you, but when they leave, they say to others, “What did he just say?” These are the ones whose hearts Allah has sealed, they follow only their desires.

47:16Among them are some who give ear unto thee (Muhammad) till, when they go forth from thy presence they say unto those who have been given knowledge: What was that he said just now? Those are they whose hearts Allah hath sealed, and they follow their own lusts.

This is how We seal the hearts of the disbelievers.

7:101Such were the townships. We relate some tidings of them unto thee (Muhammad). Their messengers verily came unto them with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty), but they could not believe because they had before denied. Thus doth Allah print upon the hearts of disbelievers (that they hear not).

10:74Then, after him, We sent messengers unto their folk, and they brought them clear proofs. But they were not ready to believe in that which they before denied. Thus print We on the hearts of the transgressors.

30:59Thus doth Allah seal the hearts of those who know not.

40:35Those who wrangle concerning the revelations of Allah without any warrant that hath come unto them, it is greatly hateful in the sight of Allah and in the sight of those who believe. Thus doth Allah print on every arrogant, disdainful heart.

Have you seen the one who takes his own desire as his Allah? Allah lets him stray knowingly, seals his hearing and heart, and places a veil over his sight. Who then can guide him after Allah?

45:23Hast thou seen him who maketh his desire his god, and Allah sendeth him astray purposely, and sealeth up his hearing and his heart, and setteth on his sight a covering? Then who will lead him after Allah (hath condemned him)? Will ye not then heed?

Say, “If Allah were to take away your hearing and sight and seal your hearts, who but Allah could restore them?”

6:46Say: Have ye imagined, if Allah should take away your hearing and your sight and seal your hearts, Who is the Allah Who could restore it to you save Allah? See how We display the revelations unto them! Yet still they turn away.

They are the ones whose hearts, hearing, and sight Allah has sealed, and they are the heedless.

16:108Such are they whose hearts and ears and eyes Allah hath sealed. And such are the heedless.

That is because they believed, then disbelieved, so their hearts were sealed, and they cannot understand.

63:3That is because they believed, then disbelieved, therefore their hearts are sealed so that they understand not.

No! Their hearts are stained by what they have earned.

83:14Nay, but that which they have earned is rust upon their hearts.

No! On that Day, they will be veiled from their Lord

83:15Nay, but surely on that day they will be covered from (the mercy of) their Lord.

Allah has sealed their hearts and ears, and a veil covers their sight

2:7Allah hath sealed their hearing and their hearts, and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be an awful doom.

4:155Then because of their breaking of their covenant, and their disbelieving in the revelations of Allah, and their slaying of the prophets wrongfully, and their saying: Our hearts are hardened - Nay, but Allah set a seal upon them for their disbelief, so that they believe not save a few -

9:87They are content that they should be with the useless and their hearts are sealed, so that they apprehend not.

9:93The road (of blame) is only against those who ask for leave of thee (to stay at home) when they are rich. They are content to be with the useless. Allah hath sealed their hearts so that they know not.

Their hearts harbour a disease, and Allah increases their affliction.

2:10In their hearts is a disease, and Allah increaseth their disease. A painful doom is theirs because they lie.
