Surah Ya-Sin — Ayah 66 (36:66)

Ya-Sin · Makkah · Juz 23 · Mushaf page 444 of 604

وَلَوۡ نَشَآءُ لَطَمَسۡنَا عَلَىٰٓ أَعۡيُنِهِمۡ فَٱسۡتَبَقُواْ ٱلصِّرَٰطَ فَأَنَّىٰ يُبۡصِرُونَ ٦٦

English translation (Saheeh International)

And if We willed, We could have obliterated their eyes, and they would race to [find] the path, and how could they see?1

  1. - Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) could have left man without means of guidance in the life of this world, although in His mercy He did not.

Brief commentary

If I had willed to take away their sight I would have done so and they will not be able to see, just as I sealed their mouths and they were not able to speak. They would have then rushed towards the path to cross over it into Paradise, but it is unlikely that they will cross over when their sight is gone.
