The Meaning of Allah Being the Insight of the Servant and the Explanation of Insight
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: How can Allah be the insight of the servant if He takes from him the blessing of sight, or hearing, or a hand, or the ability to walk?
Answer:
My brother, insight, insight, is the insight that is in his heart.[Al-Hajj 22:46], so it is the heart that sees with insight, whereas these eyes only see with animal sight. They may see with beneficial sight if they reflect on the signs of Allah and look at the dominion of the heavens and the earth; this is part of reflecting on the signs of Allah. The point is not about the sight of the eye; the point is about the sight of the heart, and distinguishing between the good and the bad, disbelief and faith, and faith and hypocrisy. This is insight. Loyalty and disavowal, this is insight. Yes.

For indeed, it is not eyes that are blinded, but blinded are the hearts which are within the breasts.
فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَعْمَى الْأَبْصَارُ وَلَٰكِن تَعْمَى الْقُلُوبُ الَّتِي فِي الصُّدُورِ
