Imam al-Baqir (AS) said with regards to the following verse of Allah most High “But whoever has been blind in this [world], will be blind in the Hereafter”, said, ‘Whoever does not see that there is a great creator behind the creation of the heavens and the earth, the alternating night and day, the orbits of the sun and the moon and all the other wondrous signs “will be blind in the Hereafter.” He (AS) then said, ‘This means he is blind to what he did not witness and (even) more astray from the (right) way.
الإمامُ الباقرُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ في قولهِ تعالى : «ومَن كانَ في هذهِ أعْمى فهُوَ في الآخِرَةِ أعْمى» ـ : فمَن لَم يَدُلَّهُ خَلقُ السّماواتِ والأرضِ واخْتِلافُ اللّيلِ والنّهارِ ، ودَوَرانُ الفَلَكِ بالشَّمسِ والقَمرِ ، والآياتُ العَجيباتُ على أنّ وَراءَ ذلكَ أمرا هُو أعْظَمُ مِنهُ ، «فهُو في الآخِرَةِ أعمى» . قالَ : فهُو عمّا لَم يُعايِنْ أعْمى وأضَلُّ سبيلاً.
