Examples from Qur'aan al-Kareem

Translation by Yusuf Ali

2:17 mathaluhum kamathalilladhistawqada naaraa* fa lammaa aDaa-at maa Hawlahuu dhahaballaahu bi nuurihim wa tarakahum fii Zulumaatil laa yubSiruun

Meaning: Their similitude is that of a man who kindled a fire; when it lighted all around him, God took away their light and left them in utter darkness. So they could not see.

2:110 wa aqiymuS Salaata wa aatuz zakaah* wa maa tuqaddimuu li anfusikum min khayrin tajiduuhu 'Indallaah* innallaaha bimaa ta'Åmaluuna baSiyr

Meaning: And be steadfast in prayer and regular in charity: And whatever good ye send forth for your souls before you, ye shall find it with God: for God sees Well all that ye do.

36:9 wa ja'Alnaa mim bayni aydiihim saddaw wa min khalfihim saddan fa ag$aynaahum fahum laa yubSiruun.

Meaning: And We have put a bar in front of them and a bar behind them, and further, We have covered them up; so that they cannot see.

36:66 walaw na$aau laTamasnaa 'Alaa a'Åyunihim fastabaquS SiraaTa fa annaa yubSiruun.

Meaning: If it had been our Will, We could surely have blotted out their eyes; then should they have run about groping for the Path, but how could they have seen?
