وَمَآ أَنتَ بِهَـٰدِ ٱلْعُمْىِ عَن ضَلَـٰلَتِهِمْ ۖ إِن تُسْمِعُ إِلَّا مَن يُؤْمِنُ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا فَهُم مُّسْلِمُونَ Qur’an Ar-Rum (30:53)
Wam a anta bih a di alAAumyi AAan d al a latihim in tusmiAAu ill a man yuminu bi a y a tin a fahum muslimoon a
just as thou canst not lead the blind [of heart] out of their error: none canst thou make hear [thy call] save such as [are willing to] believe in Our messages, and thus surrender themselves unto Us.47
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

Cf. the identical passage in {27:80-81} and the corresponding note [72].

nor can you guide the blind out of their error. None will hear you save those who believe in Our revelations and submit themselves as Muslims.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Nor can you lead the blind out of their misguidance. You can make none hear 'the truth' except those who believe in Our revelations, 'fully' submitting 'to Allah'.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab
Nor canst thou guide the blind out of their error. Thou canst make none to hear save those who believe in Our revelations so that they surrender (unto Him).
  - Marmaduke Pickthall

Nor canst thou lead back the blind from their straying: only those wilt thou make to hear who believe in Our Signs and submit (their wills in Islam). 3571
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

See last note. Then there is the case of men about whom the saying holds true, that none are so blind as those who will not see. They prefer to stray in paths of wrong and of sense-pleasures. How can they be guided in any way? The only persons who gain by spiritual teaching are those who bring a mind to it-who believe and submit their wills to Allah's Will. This is the central doctrine of Islam.
