Surah Muhammad ayat 24 Tafsir Quran 47:24

﴿أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْآنَ أَمْ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبٍ أَقْفَالُهَا﴾
[ محمد: 24]

47:24 Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an, or are there locks upon [their] hearts?

Do they not contemplate the Qur’ān? and so recognise the truth. Or am here is like bal ‘nay but’ is it that there are locks on their hearts? so they are unable to comprehend it.

Do they not ponder and meditate upon the Quran or do they keep locks upon their hearts

(47:24) Do they, then, not reflect on the Qur'an? Or are there locks on their hearts? *35

Then do they not reflect upon the meaning

*35) That is, 'Either these people do not ponder over the Qur'an at all, or if they try to ponder over it, its teachings and meaning do not enter their hearts, because they have put locks on them." As for this that "there are their locks upon the hearts," it means this: "There are such locks on them as are specially meant for the hearts which are not susceptible to the truth."
 

( Will they then not meditate on the Qur’an ) regarding that which has been revealed about them, ( or are there locks on the hearts ) or are there locks on the hearts of the hypocrites such that they do not understand what is revealed about them?

Do they not then think deeply in the Quran, or are their hearts locked up (from understanding it)?
