The right translation
(Since they disbelieved in the addressing of Alastu-bi-Rabbikum). They have asked for from Allah; to have their hearts sealed, put covers on their ears and veils over their eyes. There is a great punishment for them.
Explanation
Those who disbelieved in their Lord when they made a covenant with Allah (swt) at Kalu Bela, and those who waited for the Lord of their own imagination, disbelieved in Allah (swt) of their own will and desire, and our Lord (swt) made those who disbelieved in Him to have a veil over their eyes, a weight on their ears and their hearts sealed against Allah (swt), for there is no other god but Him (swt).

By the way, if you have questions, don't hold back from asking them.
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 7: Allah has set a seal on their hearts and on their ears. And over their eyes a veil has been drawn. And for them there is a great punishment in this world and the hereafter, it says. Now, the meaning here is contradictory. The meaning is contradictory. We marked this one as a mistake. Because this passage is ambiguous. You can pull it toward the right, and you can pull it toward the crooked. Whereas the verses of Allah Almighty address us directly. Directly. Now I will tell you two meanings here. What does it say here? Allah has sealed their hearts and their ears. Right.
Hatemallâhu alâ kulûbihim ve alâ sem'ihim ve alâ ebsârihim gışâveh, ve lehüm azâbün azîm. Right. Has sealed. But here, instead of "has sealed", it is "has had them sealed": the person. The person has had them sealed. Now here the meaning comes out like this: A veil over their eyes, a plug in their ears, and their hearts too He has sealed. Then I ask: why did He seal them? Why did He seal them? Now what does it say? Allah has sealed their hearts and their ears. And over their eyes a kind of veil has been drawn, and for them, in this world and the hereafter, there is a great punishment. I ask: why did He seal them?
But if we explain the right meaning like this, the question disappears. Look, what is the right one? At the address "Elestü bi-Rabbiküm", in brackets, a bracket inside. At the address "Elestü bi-Rabbiküm", because they denied Allah, they had their hearts sealed by Allah there.
They had a weight put on their ears. And over their eyes they had a veil drawn. For them there is a great punishment. Look how beautiful. Plugs in their ears. And over their eyes they had a veil drawn.
It is not that Allah Almighty directly seals their hearts. They themselves have them sealed. With what? When Allah Almighty created our souls in the realm of Lahut, these things, because they are not known, they explain the verses wrongly in these places. Since they are not known: when He created our souls in the realm of Lahut, He says, "I am your Lord." Elestü bi-Rabbiküm. A definite command. And there mankind is divided into three classes. What does it say? Bütün ezber birbirinden gelmeyiz sınıf.
This happens in the realm of Lahut. In the realm of Lahut. What is it? O people of the right, glad tidings to you. Wa ashabul mash'amati ma ashabul mash'amah. O people of the left, woe to you. Was-sabiqunas-sabiqun, ula'ikal muqarrabun, fi jannatin na'im. A third group, the group of the foremost. These are the group of the saints, the prophets, the martyrs, the witnesses. There we were divided. There, into three classes. How were we divided? By our denial or by our faith. By affirming, by affirming Allah. There we were divided. So what does it say here now, here? It says: Allah has sealed their hearts and their ears.
Why did He seal them? Why did He seal them? Why did He not seal others, but sealed them? Well, Allah Almighty them in that way, you know, "whom He wills to Paradise, whom He wills to Hell", they write, don't they? So did He perhaps seal them because He created whom He willed of His creatures for Hell? Such questions arise. But if you say it this way, if you say it the way I explained, all question marks leave the mind. What do we say? At the address "Elestü bi-Rabbiküm", because they denied Allah, they had their hearts sealed by Allah there. They had weights put on their ears, and over their eyes they had a veil drawn.
For them there is a great punishment. Yes. Now isn't this passage opened up beautifully? I mean, it can be understood. Otherwise, like the other one... there is no ambiguity, no ambiguity. With Allah there is nothing left in the air.
