Epigraph

 إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا وَاسْتَكْبَرُوا عَنْهَا لَا تُفَتَّحُ لَهُمْ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ وَلَا يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّىٰ يَلِجَ الْجَمَلُ فِي سَمِّ الْخِيَاطِ ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُجْرِمِينَ ‎

The gates of Heaven will not be open to those who rejected Our revelations and arrogantly spurned them; even if a thick rope a were to pass through the eye of a needle they would not enter the Garden. This is how We punish the guilty. (Al Quran 7:40)

عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

أَن جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَىٰ

 وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّىٰ

 أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ

أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَىٰ

فَأَنتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّىٰ 

وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ

وَأَمَّا مَن جَاءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ

 وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ

 فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ

He frowned and turned away when the blind man came to him––for all you know, a he might have grown in spirit, or taken note of something useful to him. For the self-satisfied one you go out of your way––though you are not to be blamed for his lack of spiritual growth––but from the one who has come to you full of eagerness and awe you allow yourself to be distracted. (Al Quran 80:1-10)
