Surah 17. Al-Israa, Ayah 72
| وَمَنْ كَانَ فِي هَٰذِهِ أَعْمَىٰ فَهُوَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ أَعْمَىٰ وَأَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا |
| Transliteration | : | wa- man kaana fe haadhihi acmaa fa- huwa fe al- 'aakhirah acmaa wa- ad.all sabel(an) |
| Pickthall | : | Whoso is blind here wilt be blind in the Hereafter, and yet further from the road. |
| Asad | : | for whoever is blind [of heart] in this [world] will be blind in the life to come [as well], and still farther astray from the path [of truth].87 |
| Malik | : | But those who have played blind in this world will be blind in the hereafter, rather worse than blind in finding the Way to Salvation. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | But those who were blind in this world will be blind in the Hereafter and most astray from the Path. 2268 |
Note - 87Cf. {20:124-125}. This passage shows that man's life in
the hereafter is not merely conditioned by the manner of
his life on earth, but is also an organic extension of
the latter, manifested in a natural development and
intensification of previously-existing tendencies.

Note - 2268On the Judgment Day the children of light will receive
and peruse their record, and will render joyful thanks to
Allah for His Mercies. What of the children of darkness?
They had already been blind in this world's life, and
they will not receive the light of Allah's Countenance
then. On the contrary they will find that the longer the
time they have travelled, the farther away they have gone
from the Path. Notice the association of ideas-blindness,
not seeing the light, going farther and farther away from
the true Path.
