Surah al-Mulk ayah 4

Date: November 01, 2004 | 18 Ramadan 1425 Hijriah
Blog: A Quranic Journal
Arabic text of ayah

Thumma irji'i al-basara karratayni yanqalib ilayka al-basaru khasian wa huwa hasirun

Then turn your eyes another time, your vision will turn back to you humiliated and worn out

The following is an excerpt of commentary on this ayah, from Tafsir Ibn Kathir:

Qatadah said, "It means (look) twice." Ibn Abbas said that Khasi' means humiliated. Mujahid and Qatadah both said that it means despised. Ibn Abbas said that [worn out] means it will be exhausted. Mujahid, Qatadah and As-Suddi all said that it means broken down fatigue that comes from weakness. Thus, the Ayah means that if you continuously looked, no matter how much you look, your sight will return to you Khasi' due to the inability to see any flaw or defect (in Allah's creation)
