35. Fatir · verses 19–22

وَمَا يَسۡتَوِي ٱلۡأَعۡمَىٰ وَٱلۡبَصِيرُ

Wama yastawee alaAAma waalbaseeru

The blind and the seeing are not alike;

وَلَا ٱلظُّلُمَٰتُ وَلَا ٱلنُّورُ

Wala alththulumatu wala alnnooru

Nor are the depths of Darkness and the Light;

وَلَا ٱلظِّلُّ وَلَا ٱلۡحَرُورُ

Wala alththillu wala alharooru

Nor are the (chilly) shade and the (genial) heat of the sun:

وَمَا يَسۡتَوِي ٱلۡأَحۡيَآءُ وَلَا ٱلۡأَمۡوَٰتُۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُسۡمِعُ مَن يَشَآءُۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ بِمُسۡمِعٖ مَّن فِي ٱلۡقُبُورِ

Wama yastawee alahyao wala alamwatu inna Allaha yusmiAAu man yashao wama anta bimusmiAAin man fee alquboori

Nor are alike those that are living and those that are dead. Allah can make any that He wills to hear; but thou canst not make those to hear who are (buried) in graves.
