Question:
Does Allah seal the hearts of the hypocrites, or does He guide them?
Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:[Al-Baqarah 2:7] It may be that Allah seals their hearts, so they do not benefit from any admonition, nor do they accept any advice. And because their hearts are sealed, nothing enters them; nothing enters them, sealed, and may Allah protect us from that. Yes, and the covering is likewise: Allah has covered their hearts. Yes, [Al-Mutaffifin 83:14] Yes.
Does Allah seal the hearts of the hypocrites, or does He guide them?
Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:
Allah has set a seal upon their hearts and upon their hearing, and over their vision is a veil
خَتَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَعَلَىٰ سَمْعِهِمْ وَعَلَىٰ أَبْصَارِهِمْ غِشَاوَةٌNo! Rather, the stain has covered their hearts of that which they were earning.
بَلْ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ
