Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered the sole occurrence of the plural noun أَقْفَال at 47:24. The ayah asks whether people fail to reflect upon the Quran because their hearts bear their own locks. The عَلَى relation, possessed plural, and contrast with reflection establish closures that bar access to understanding within the hearts. The occurrence is metaphorical, but the closure mechanism is integral to the image. The target is masculine plural nominative with a feminine plural possessive pronoun referring distributively to hearts in the full word.
