What are the reasons for a servant being turned away from understanding the Qur'an?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What are the reasons why Allah the Exalted turns a servant away from understanding the Noble Qur'an?

Answer:
There are many reasons. The first is a lack of concern. If a person does not care about the meanings of the Qur'an and does not reflect upon it, he is turned away from it. The second is sins and disobedience. Sins and disobedience are what turn a person away from the Qur'an.
No! Rather, the stain has covered their hearts of that which they were earning.كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ
[Al-Mutaffifin 83:14]
Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an, or are there locks upon [their] hearts?أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْآنَ أَمْ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبٍ أَقْفَالُهَا
[Muhammad 47:24]
A person is turned away from the Qur'an because of his sins and his evil deeds, as a punishment for him. Yes.
