6:46

قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَخَذَ ٱللَّهُ سَمْعَكُمْ وَأَبْصَـٰرَكُمْ وَخَتَمَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِكُم مَّنْ إِلَـٰهٌ غَيْرُ ٱللَّهِ يَأْتِيكُم بِهِ ۗ ٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ نُصَرِّفُ ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ ثُمَّ هُمْ يَصْدِفُونَ ٤٦

Saheeh International

Say, "Have you considered: if Allah should take away your hearing and your sight and set a seal upon your hearts, which deity other than Allah could bring them [back] to you?" Look how we diversify the verses; then they [still] turn away.

Tafsir of "Ibn Kathir" (English)

Allah said to His Messenger,قُلْsay,O Muhammad, to those rebellious liars,أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَخَذَ اللّهُ سَمْعَكُمْ وَأَبْصَارَكُمْTell me, if Allah took away your hearing and your sight.just as He gave these senses to you.In another Ayah, Allah said;هُوَ الَّذِى أَنشَأَكُمْ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالاٌّبْصَـرَIt is He Who has created you, and endowed you with hearing, seeing. (67:23)The Ayah above might also mean that Allah will not allow the disbelievers to benefit from these senses in religious terms. This is why He said next,وَخَتَمَ عَلَى قُلُوبِكُمand sealed up your hearts,.He also said in other Ayat,أَمَّن يَمْلِكُ السَّمْعَ والاٌّبْصَـرَOr who owns hearing and sight! (10:31)and,وَاعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَحُولُ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَقَلْبِهِAnd know that Allah comes in between a person and his heart. Allah said; مَّنْ إِلَـهٌ غَيْرُ اللّهِ يَأْتِيكُم بِهِIs there a god other than Allah who could restore them to you!Meaning, is there anyone except Allah who is able to give you back these senses if Allah took them from you! Only Allah is able to do so, and this is why He said here,انظُرْ كَيْفَ نُصَرِّفُ الايَاتِSee how variously We explain the Ayat,and make them plain and clear, testifying to Allah's Oneness in lordship and that those worshipped besides Him are all false and unworthy.ثُمَّ هُمْ يَصْدِفُونَyet they turn aside.After this explanation, they still turn away from the truth and hinder people from following it.Allah's statement
