البصر
22 verses in 16 surahs · 10 subtopics
Sight is presented in these verses as a favor from Allah, paired with hearing, which no one but He could restore were He to take it away. They recall that the blind and the seeing are not equal, call on those with eyes to take heed, command the lowering of the gaze from what is forbidden, and describe eyes swerving in terror and the day when eyes will stare, humbled.
