    📖 Commentary of Surah Al-Isra’ – Verse 72

    "And whoever is blind in this [world], he will be blind in the Hereafter, and more astray from the path."

    ✅ [159] Blindness of the Heart

    This verse refers to spiritual blindness, not physical:

    • The one whose heart was sealed and refused to accept guidance in the world—

      • He will be deprived of spiritual insight in the Hereafter.

      • He will be even more astray, unable to see the path to salvation or Paradise.

    This blindness in the Hereafter will be more severe, because:

    • In the world, there was always the possibility of repentance and receiving guidance.

    • But in the Hereafter, that opportunity ends—guidance is no longer offered, and reality is enforced.

    🔸 This does not contradict the verse:

    "So today your sight is sharp" (Surah Qaf 50:22)

    —Because that verse refers to the physical vision, which will indeed become sharp and clear. However, the spiritual blindness will remain or intensify in the disbelievers.
