The Metaphorical Meaning Of Deaf, Dumb, and Blind

The Metaphorical Meaning Of Deaf, Dumb, and Blind

The phrase "deaf, dumb, and blind" appears in the Quran, specifically in Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow), verse 171.

It is used as a metaphor to describe people who are completely oblivious to the truth, unable to hear it, understand it, or respond to it, essentially signifying their rejection of guidance despite being presented with it; they are "deaf" to the message, "dumb" in their inability to speak the truth, and "blind" to the obvious signs of reality.

Spiritually Deaf, Mute, and Blind

Spiritually Deaf, Mute, and Blind

Those who reject the truth, although they may have the physical organs and faculties for believing, seeing and hearing, are akin to blind and deaf persons, only worse, because “seals” are placed over the spiritual insight of the heart, eyes, and ears due to their obstinate rejection of the truth. As Allah Most High tells us in the preceding verse, “Allah has sealed their hearts and their hearing, and their sight is covered. They will suffer a tremendous punishment.” (Surah al-Baqarah 2:7)

The State of Unbelievers and Hypocrites

The State of Unbelievers and Hypocrites

The verse refers to the similarities between hypocrites and unbelievers. Both are deaf, blind, and dumb, meaning they do not believe or understand the truth. Hypocrites, even though they may appear Muslim, lack true belief. This unbelief is caused by prejudices, wrong viewpoints, and indulgence in wrongdoing. Like unbelievers, hypocrites are hindered from understanding the truth due to prejudice, pride, egotism, ignorance, or enmity.
