﷽
Are you Grateful for it?
Allah ﷻ says in the Qur’an:
قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَخَذَ اللَّهُ سَمْعَكُمْ وَأَبْصَارَكُمْ وَخَتَمَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِكُم مَّنْ إِلَٰهٌ غَيْرُ اللَّهِ يَأْتِيكُم بِهِ ۗ
Say: Tell me, if Allah took away your hearing and your sight, and sealed up your hearts, is there a god other than Allah who could restore them to you
[6:46]
_
Wallahi, the Ni’ma (blessing) of the eyes is something so underrated and so misused, we do not deserve such blessings
_
As Ibn Al Qayyim رحمه الله said: How Ungrateful is man that he must sin using the blessings Allah bestowed on him.
_
As Allah ﷻ says
أَلَمْ نَجْعَلْ لَّهُ عَيْنَيْنِ
Have we not given you two eyes
[90:8]
So then why do we not use these same Eyes in the correct way, to worship Allah ﷻ?
Instead of using our eyes for things that harm us or are of no benefit.
Close your eyes and try reciting just one Page randomly from the Qur’an, Wallahi unless you’re a Hafidh you won’t be able to.
_
So use the blessing Allah ﷻ gave you before it is gone, either in death or in old age
And be grateful.
And be ashamed because there are Blind Huffadh in the world who have no eyesight, but their hearts are wide open, who have mastered the Qur’an and its Tilawah, who will be led by such a bright Noor on Qiyamah, while many of us who turned away with 20/20 vision but locks on our hearts, we will be crawling in total darkness, blinded by our own actions.
_
As Allah ﷻ says
أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ أَمْ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبٍ أَقْفَالُهَآ
Do they not contemplate over the Qur’an, or is there locks upon their hearts
[47:24]
And in another place
فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَعْمَى الْأَبْصَارُ وَلَٰكِن تَعْمَى الْقُلُوبُ الَّتِي فِي الصُّدُورِ
Indeed, it is not the eyes which are blinded, but blinded are the hearts which are within the breasts.
[22:46]
_
Ya Ibn Adam! What use is your eyes, if your heart is corrupted?
Reflect!
