The descriptions mentioned in this Ayah are descriptions of three heart diseases, as there are two levels of deafness, dumbness, and blindness in the concepts of the Quran: the physical level and the heart level. Allah says,
"And We have certainly created for Hell many of the jinn and humankind. They have hearts with which they do not understand, they have eyes with which they do not see, and they have ears with which they do not hear. Those are...See more

God Almighty did not use the letter conjunction between each characteristic so that all of them would be inherent to each one of them
If he had said: deaf, dumb, and blind, he would have been among them the deaf, but he sees and speaks, and among them was the blind, but he could hear and speak, and so on.
The verse came with the three adjectives combined without any conjunction, so everyone is deaf, everyone is mute, everyone is blind, and every...See more

I am not a scholar, but this ayah creates a powerful image in my mind. Note that Allah gives a fire (light and heat) to his slave, and, as for those worthy of misguidance, after his surroundings were lit for him, Allah takes away his light, and leaves him not only in darkness, but darkness with the fire still burning (minus the light). If you read the ayat carefully, you see that Allah only extinguishes the light, not the heat, for those he mis...See more

He compared the hypocrites to someone who lit a fire, and the only reason you would light a fire in darkness of the night is for warmth, comfort, and to be able to see in the darkness around you. In that way belief grants you Serenity, warmth, and the ability to see through the darkness with the light of Allah. He then mentions that he took away their light and that is because they turned away from belief so he left them in darkness without the ...See more

What I feel about this verse is Allah swt provides resources so we can explore and discover unknowns. when we find solutions to our problems or projects, we rejoice in our accomplishments and fail to recognize the hands of Allah in it. Then Allah may take away it or probably add new challenges to it. Then we get lost! Because we do not acknowledge him.

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Especially Merciful,
I had read a few translations of the Qur’an several times during my teenage years. I was marvelled by the science of the Qur’an. Yet, I didn’t really contemplate about the Prophets peace be upon them all, the Day of Judgment and death.
