Surah Al-Baqarah Ayah 171

Al-Baqarah · Ayah 171 · Juz 2 · Page 26

وَمَثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ كَمَثَلِ ٱلَّذِي يَنۡعِقُ بِمَا لَا يَسۡمَعُ إِلَّا دُعَآءٗ وَنِدَآءٗۚ صُمُّۢ بُكۡمٌ عُمۡيٞ فَهُمۡ لَا يَعۡقِلُونَ ١٧١

Wa mathalul-ladhīna kafarū kamathalil-ladhī yanʿiqu bimā lā yasmaʿu illā duʿāʾaw wa nidāʾā, ṣummum bukmun ʿumyun fahum lā yaʿqilūn.

The example of those who disbelieve is like that of one who shouts at what hears nothing but calls and cries [i.e., cattle or sheep] - deaf, dumb and blind, so they do not understand.
