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?

We have narrated to you the stories of those before. Their messengers came to them with clear proofs, but they refused to believe in what they had rejected before. 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).

Whenever they make a covenant, some among them break it, most of them do not truly believe.

2:100Is it ever so that when they make a covenant a party of them set it aside? The truth is, most of them believe not.

We found most of them untrue to their covenants. We found most of them to be corrupt.

7:102We found no (loyalty to any) covenant in most of them. Nay, most of them We found wrong-doers.

Allah sealed their hearts, so they do not understand.

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.
