The Holy Quran 17:72 — Surah Al-Isra

Arabic text

وَمَن كَانَ فِى هَـٰذِهِۦٓ أَعْمَىٰ فَهُوَ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ أَعْمَىٰ وَأَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا

Translation

Whoever is blind (to the way to salvation and guidance) in this world will be blind in the Aakhirah (unable to see the way to Jannah) and will be even more astray (in the Aakhirah because unlike the situation in this world where there is a possibility of repenting, there will be no chance for repentance in the Aakhirah).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The blind in this world and in the Hereafter: that is, just as here he remained blind to the path of guidance, so in the Hereafter he is blind to the path to Paradise and lies very far from it (Mudih al-Quran). This is the mention of “the people of the left” in contrast to “the people of the right”.
