Commentary 25:73 “Who do not shut their ears and eyes to the commandments of their Lord.” They listen to them attentively and with their eyes open. Explaining this verse,…
وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِّرُوا بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ لَمْ يَخِرُّوا عَلَيْهَا صُمًّا وَعُمْيَانًا
25:73 “Who do not shut their ears and eyes to the commandments of their Lord.” They listen to them attentively and with their eyes open. Explaining this verse, Zamakhsharî writes that most people approach the Holy Writ with mere outward shows of eagerness, for the sake of show or to look pious, but in reality, they make little attempt to understand the message therein. They therefore remain “deaf and blind, “their ears and eyes shut to its contents”. The truly God-conscious are deeply desirous of understanding it and therefore listen to it with wide-awake ears and look into it with seeing eyes. Their belief is based on certainty and not on mere hearsay and dogmas.
