Will they not ponder the Quran? Or are there locks upon their hearts?
What does the Qur'an say about hearts that are 'locked' against it?
Key findingsEditorial
One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.
- 01 47:24 WILL THEY THEN NOT MEDITATE ON THE QUR'AN, OR ARE THERE LOCKS ON THE HEARTS? This verse asks the question this page is about, in a single sentence, and offers only two accounts of a failure to reflect — the second of which is an accusation rather than an explanation.
- 02 4:82 WILL THEY NOT THEN PONDER ON THE QUR'AN? IF IT HAD BEEN FROM OTHER THAN GOD THEY WOULD HAVE FOUND THEREIN MUCH INCONGRUITY. This verse puts the same challenge and then names what to look for: whether the text contains much incongruity. That is a test a reader can actually apply to the book in front of them.
- 03 38:29 A Scripture that We have revealed unto thee, full of blessing, THAT THEY MAY PONDER ITS REVELATIONS, and that men of understanding may reflect. This verse states pondering as the purpose for which the Scripture was revealed, rather than only as something asked of a reader.
- 04 23:68 Have they not pondered the Word, or hath that come unto them which came not unto their fathers of old? This verse sets the failure to ponder beside a second possible explanation — that something has come to them which did not come to their forefathers — and lets neither stand.
- 05 2:7 God hath sealed their hearts and their hearing, and on their eyes there is a covering. This verse gives a different account of the same condition: that God has sealed their hearts and their hearing. Set beside the question at 47:24, which puts the failure to the hearers themselves, the two do not sit easily together. The studies on decree and free will and on closed understanding carry this verse too.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation
The Qur’an uses the heart as a centre of understanding, intention and moral responsiveness. It asks whether people reflect on the Qur’an or whether their hearts are locked (47:24), and describes hearts that fail to understand despite eyes and ears that function (7:179).
Other passages say that God seals hearts (2:7; 6:46; 16:108), often in contexts describing persistent rejection, arrogance or refusal to listen. The relationship between human choice and divine sealing is not reduced to a simple sequence in every verse. Some passages emphasise what people repeatedly chose; others emphasise God’s judgment upon that state.
“Locked hearts” is therefore moral and theological language for entrenched resistance, not a medical description and not permission to assume another person is beyond hope. The Qur’an also speaks of hearts softening, turning back and finding reassurance through remembrance. AALAMIN should present the metaphor as a warning to the reader, not merely a label applied to outsiders.
Scope of this study
This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.
What this study does not answer, and which source would be needed. It does not say on what occasion any of these verses was given: this study holds no source whose usage rights can be verified. It does not report how any commentator has read them: this study holds no either - the Arabic of , and is public domain by age, but no English edition with verifiable usage rights exists. And it offers no academic-historical reading: this study holds no such scholarship. Each of those is an absence with a named cause, not an omission.
What this rests on
Opens with 47:24, widening across 5 passages in all.
Easy-read
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.
The versesSource fact 5 passages, each with every cleared translation
5 passages, chosen for this question and signed as part of it. Each carries the reason it is here, and each renders in full: the Arabic, then every cleared translation of that verse under its translator's name.
Each verse opens on the translation that comes first in the site's fixed order, which runs from the newest translation to the oldest. The order is not a preference. Open Compare translations on any verse to read the others.

If you turn away, you are likely to make mischief on earth, and sever your family ties.

Those who reverted after the guidance became clear to them-Satan has enticed them, and has given them latitude.

A nuk e përsiatin ata Kuranin! Sikur ai të mos ishte nga Allahu, sigurisht se do të gjenin në të shumë kundërthënie.
তবে কি তারা কুরআন সম্পর্কে গভীরভাবে চিন্তা-গবেষণা করে না? যদি তা আল্লাহ ব্যতীত অন্য কারো নিকট হতে আসত, তবে তারা এতে অনেক অসংগতি পেতো।

The translators word this verse differently
So fight in the cause of God; you are responsible only for yourself. And rouse the believers. Perhaps God will restrain the might of those who disbelieve. God is Stronger in Might, and More Punishing.
So fight (O Muhammad) in the way of Allah Thou art not taxed (with the responsibility for anyone) except thyself - and urge on the believers. Peradventure Allah will restrain the might of those who disbelieve. Allah is stronger in might and stronger in inflicting punishment
Fight, then, in the way of God; impose not aught on any but thyself, and urge on the believers; it may be that God will restrain the violence of those who misbelieve, for God is more violent and more severe to punish
Fight, therefore, on God's path: lay not burdens on any but thyself; and stir up the faithful. The might of the infidels haply will god restrain, for God is the stronger in prowess, and the stronger to punish
Fight therefore for the religion of God, and oblige not any to what is difficult, except thy self; however excite the faithful to war, perhaps God will restrain the courage of the unbelievers; for God is stronger than they, and more able to punish

We did not create the heaven and the earth and everything between them in vain. That is the assumption of those who disbelieve-so woe to those who disbelieve because of the Fire.
And We created not the heaven and the earth and all that is between them in vain. That is the opinion of those who disbelieve. And woe unto those who disbelieve, from the Fire

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it5 of the 6 paragraphs signed with this study; the paragraph naming what it does not answer is at the top of the page
The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.
Read across the four public-domain translations - Sale 1734, Rodwell 1861, Palmer 1880, Pickthall 1930 - of 47:24, 4:82, 38:29, 23:68, 2:7, in full, and nothing else. This study consults no , no , no occasion of revelation and no biography, because none is yet available in an edition whose usage rights can be verified. Itani 2012, the fifth translation shown with these verses, was not consulted for this study.
How this set was arrived at. The verses were found by a word search of the four public-domain translations, using terms chosen by the editor and listed here as they were searched - hearts + are + locks; locks + upon + the + hearts; will + they + then + not + meditate + on + the + qur'an; do + they + not + ponder + the + qur'an. The search was a way of finding passages, not a judgement about what they mean: that several translators chose the same English word is not evidence about the Arabic. A different choice of terms gives a different set.
Verses carried by more than one study. Some passages here also serve another study. Each carries its own reason in each place, and the reason states where else it appears.
Where the translations part company, named rather than resolved. How differently the translations word each verse is shown on that verse's page, and the study names the differences it turns on rather than choosing between them.
Editorial revision. Reviewer: AALAMIN Remaining Studies Editorial Review, Volume 1. Version date: 2026-09-16. Correction history: the plain-words answer above replaces the version signed earlier, and this study's inclusion reasons were rewritten as plain English. The Arabic, the translations and the source receipts are unchanged.
