The Holy Quran 20:126 — Surah Taha

Arabic text

قَالَ كَذَٰلِكَ أَتَتْكَ ءَايَـٰتُنَا فَنَسِيتَهَا ۖ وَكَذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ تُنسَىٰ

Translation

He (Allaah) will say, "This (is how it shall be for you). Our Aayaat came to you, but you forgot them. In the same way (as you had forgotten) you will be forgotten today (and your request will not be heeded to)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, in the world, seeing and hearing Our signs, you did not believe nor act upon them; you remained so forgetful that you ignored everything you heard. Today you are being forgotten in the same way. Just as there you kept making yourself blind, why are you astonished here at receiving a punishment befitting it and being raised blind?
