Today's reflection [Ayah 18, Surah Al-Baqarah]

Ψ΅ΩΩ…Ω‘ΩŒ Ψ¨ΩΩƒΩ’Ω…ΩŒ ΨΉΩΩ…Ω’ΩŠΩŒ ΩΩŽΩ‡ΩΩ…Ω’ Ω„ΩŽΨ§ ΩŠΩŽΨ±Ω’Ψ¬ΩΨΉΩΩˆΩ†ΩŽ
β€œDeaf, dumb and blind – so they will not return [to the right path]". (2:18)

In this present ayah we see how Allah gives additional characteristics of the hypocrites. In previous ayah they were enlightened,but Allah took their light.Now lets imagine a person who is deaf,blind and dumb, Can he be guided? Not at all. Over here Allah says they are Ψ΅ΩΩ…Ω‘ΩŒ (deaf).Why? Because they don’t hear the truth (of Islam), بِكُمْ dumb hence they cannot say the words that might benefit them in this world and the hereafter. ΨΉΩŽΩ…Ω‹Ω‰ blind -they are far away the noor (light of Islam) ,in total darkness. And we see at the end of the ayah Allah says,They will not return  Ψ± Ψ¬ ΨΉ (it means go back where person came from) to the right way. Over here it can be understood munafeqoon will not come to the path of guidance. Why? Because they will never realize their shortcomings. Whatever they’re doing, for them it is correct .They are not guided at all .Every door of guidance is closed for them. They were hypocrites in their hearts,however they pretend to be Muslims, Allah surely knows their reality.
As many people in the world who are deprived of the Islamic teachings are like this, they will be subjected to a similar punishment in the hereafter. The verse β€œWe will burn them on the Day of Judgment as blind, dumb and deaf” (Surah Isra  17:97) confirms this fact.

They said to Allah Allmighty: β€œMy Lord! Why did you revive me blindly? However, I was someone who saw with my eyes in the world. 
Allah will say, "Thus did Our signs come to you, and you forgot them; and thus will you this Day be forgotten."(Surah Taha 20 : 125-126)Therefore, on the day of Resurrection, they cannot hear the word of Allah, cannot be complimented, and cannot watch Him gather the nations together for judgement.
Indeed, He is Knowing of that which is within the breasts.( Quran 67:13 )
β€œNot every man with a heart is understanding, not every man with eyes is able to see”. Ali(RA)
After this ayah can we ponder ? Do we see our own faults, if not,  Why? Is it harder than not pondering at all ? Dear sisters and brothers in Islam, when we do not recognize our mistakes, we do not repent, we do not reform, we  do not leave our  sins rather we become deaf and blind to guidance.πŸ₯Ί

O Allah! As we journey through the Quran, give us the ability to recognize our mistakes, admit them, acknowledge them ,show us the way so we do not get lost or go astray. Ameen

Part of the perfection of a person’s Islam is his leaving that which is of no concern to him
