THE WORD OF GOD

who fails to accept it will be a very severe one, from which he will never be able to escape. Those who turn away from God’s guidance will be reduced in the Hereafter to blindness, being deprived of both the eyes. The reason for this is such people are given eyes in the world in order to be able to see and recognize God’s signs. But they live in such a manner that, when they encounter God’s signs, they fail to recognize them. Thus, they prove that, in spite of having eyes, they are really blind. So God will ask on that Day, what use it had been to give eyes to those who were determined to be blind. o Good Speech Most of our activities are related to speech in one way or another.
