The questioner : What is the meaning of the statement of Allah the Exalted: [Al-Isra 17:72] And what is meant by blindness in the verse?
The Shaykh : The blindness referred to in the verse is the blindness of insight. So whoever is blind to the truth in this world, not seeing it, not turning to it, and not accepting it, will be even more blind and more astray from the path in the Hereafter. He will not find the way to the people of Paradise; rather, his destination will be the Fire, may Allah protect us from it. Yes.

And whoever is blind in this [life] will be blind in the Hereafter and more astray in way.
