Surah Qaf ayat 22 for eyesight

• The verse from Surat Qaf,

(٢٢) لَقَدْ كُنتَ فِي غَفْلَةٍ مِّنْ هَٰذَا فَكَشَفْنَا عَنكَ غِطَاءَكَ فَبَصَرُكَ الْيَوْمَ حَدِيدٌ

“Indeed, you were heedless of this, so We have removed from you your cover, and your sight, this Day, is sharp.” (50:22)

is particularly effective for treating eye ailments. One can recite this verse, blow into some water, and then drink it. By the will of Allah (سبحانه و تعالى), any eye problem can be cured. (Source: Fawaid-e-Quran)

• Ashraf Ali Thanvi writes:

To improve eyesight, recite the verse:

(٢٢) فَكَشَفْنَا عَنكَ غِطَاءَكَ فَبَصَرُكَ الْيَوْمَ حَدِيدٌ

“Now have We removed your veil, and sharp is your sight this Day!” (50:22)

three times after each prayer. Blow on your fingers and gently rub them over your eyes. By consistently following this practice, one can maintain strong eyesight and potentially alleviate any existing weaknesses.

Allah is closer than the jugular vein of man

Surah Qaf ayat 16, reflects on Allah’s creation of human beings and His intimate knowledge of them. It highlights how Allah not only brought mankind into existence but also understands the innermost thoughts and whispers of their souls.

وَ لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ وَ نَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهٖ نَفْسُهٗ ۚۖ-وَ نَحْنُ اَقْرَبُ اِلَیْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ الْوَرِیْدِ(16)

“And indeed, We created man, and We know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein.”

This verse underscores the profound closeness between Allah and His creation, emphasizing that Allah is closer to each individual than their own jugular vein—a concept that resonates deeply in Islamic theology.

Appointment of two angels to preserve the record of deeds

In Surah Qaf ayat 17, Allah illustrates the meticulous recording of human deeds through two angels positioned to record everything a person does. One sits on the right, recording good deeds, while the other sits on the left, recording bad deeds.

اِذْ یَتَلَقَّى الْمُتَلَقِّیٰنِ عَنِ الْیَمِیْنِ وَ عَنِ الشِّمَالِ قَعِیْدٌ(17)

This symbolic representation in Islamic belief underscores the accountability each person faces for their actions in life. The balanced approach of recording both good and bad deeds serves as a reminder of the importance of moral consciousness and ethical behavior in Islam.
