(22) So is one whose breast Allāh has expanded to [accept] Islām and he is upon [i.e., guided by] a light from his Lord [like one whose heart rejects it]? Then woe to those whose hearts are hardened against the remembrance of Allāh. Those are in manifest error.

(39:22) Can he whose breast Allah has opened up for Islam0 and
who is thus (moving along a Path) illumined by a light from Allah1
(be likened to him who derives no lesson from what he observes)? Woe, then,
to those whose hearts were further hardened2 after Allah's admonition.
Such are indeed in obvious error.

الترجمة الإنجليزية - مركز رواد الترجمة
22. Then is the person whose heart Allah has opened to Islam and he is guided to it with insight from his Lord, like the one whose heart is hardened against Allah’s remembrance? They can never be equal. Salvation is for those who are guided and loss is for those whose hearts are hardened against Allah’s remembrance. Such people are in clear misguidance from the truth.
الترجمة الإنجليزية للمختصر في تفسير القرآن الكريم
How about one whose heart God has opened to Islam, and thus receives light from his Lord? Woe, then, betide those whose hearts harden at the mention of God. These are most obviously in error.
