72 Preface وَمَن كانَ في هٰذِهِ أَعمىٰ فَهُوَ فِي الآخِرَةِ أَعمىٰ وَأَضَلُّ سَبيلًاYusuf AliBut those who were blind in this world, will be lind in the Hereafter,1 and most astray from the Path. On the Judgment Day the children of light will receive and peruse their record, and will render joyful thanks to God for His Mercies. What of the children of darkness? They had already been blind in this world’s life, and they will not receive the light of God’s Countenance then. On the contrary they will find that the longer the time they have travelled, the farther away they have gone from the Path. Notice the association of ideas?blindness, not seeing the light, going farther and farther away from the Path.
