390. Will the blind be resurrected as blind in the hereafter.
In verse (17:72) of the Quran it is said, the blind of this world will be resurrected as blind also in the hereafter world.
A person in this world exists blind, because he was created to be. Judgments in the hereafter are not delivered on the basis of one’s physical disabilities, but depending on their acts and deeds they do in this world.
Hence the word blind in this verse does not refer to the physical disability of the person, but his blindness towards understanding God’s words while in this world, meaning the people who did not accept truth as their way of life.
Verses 17:97, 20:124,125 of the Quran clearly state the same.
Hence the message conveyed in verse 17:72 of the Quran is, those who were blind to the words of God would be resurrected as such in the hereafter.
