The Blind and the Seeing in the Balance of the Qur'an
0:12
Indeed, the blind person in the scale of Allah the Exalted
0:17
is the disbeliever who does not know that what was revealed to the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, is the truth.
0:24
For the truly blind person is one whose heart is blind.
0:28
And the seeing person is the one guided to the truth.
0:31
Allah the Almighty says:
0:33
“The similitude of the two parties is as the blind and the deaf and the seer and the hearer. Are they equal in similitude? Will ye not then be admonished?” (11:24)
0:38
Are they equal, by way of example?
0:41
Then will you not remember?
0:43
So, according to this criterion, people are of two categories:
0:46
The seeing, and they are those who know.
0:49
And the blind, and they are those who do not know the truth,
0:52
or they know it but do not submit to it.
0:56
This is the testimony of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, concerning them.
