Translations

Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

Nor canst thou lead the blind out of their error. Thou canst make none to hear, save those who believe Our revelations and who have surrendered.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Nor canst thou be a guide to the blind, (to prevent them) from straying: only those wilt thou get to listen who believe in Our Signs, and they will bow in Islam.

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

(وما أنت بهادي العمي عن ضلالتهم إن تسمع إلا من يؤمن بآياتنا فهم مسلمون ) [ أي ] : إنما يستجيب لك من هو سميع بصير ، السمع والبصر النافع في القلب والبصيرة الخاضع لله ، ولما جاء عنه على ألسنة الرسل ، عليهم السلام .
