اور نہ آپ اندھوں کو ان کی گمراہی سے ہدایت کرنے والے ہیں آپ تو صرف ان ہی لوگوں کو سناتے ہیں جو ہماری آیتوں پر ایمان رکھتے ہیں پس وہی اطاعت کرنے والے ہیں
Quran 30 Verse 53 Explanation
For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Ar-Rum ayat 53, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.
Ala-Maududi
(30:53) nor can you guide the blind out of their error.[78] You can make none hear (your call) except those who believe in Our Signs and have surrendered themselves (to Him).
78. That is, “It is not for the Prophet that he should help and guide the blind by the hand to the right way all through the life. He can only show guidance to the right path. But guiding those whose hearts have been blinded and who do not at all see the way that the Prophet tries to show them, is not within the power of the Prophets.”
