2:15 Ya‘mahûn يَعْمَهُونَ are those who are blindly wandering. They have lost all signs and are helpless in finding their way. The word is derived from ‘amiha عَمَه, meaning to be confounded, perplexed, confused, to wander blindly, to stumble to and fro, to be unable to find the right course, or to suffer mental blindness. Whereas ‘amiya عَمِئ is applied to physical blindness, ‘amiha is used only for spiritual blindness (Lane, Tâj, Lisân, Râghib). It is said: “The servant of self-will has run away from his Masters kingdom, but he cannot go outside of it, so he wanders aimlessly”.
