The Holy Quran 40:58 — Surah Ghafir

Arabic text

وَمَا يَسْتَوِى ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ وَٱلْبَصِيرُ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَلَا ٱلْمُسِىٓءُ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَتَذَكَّرُونَ

Translation

(These people fail to realise that resurrection is necessary because) The blind and the seeing cannot be equal, neither can those who have Imaan and who do good deeds be equal to the sinners. (There will therefore have to be a time when the good must be rewarded and the sinners punished.) (However), Little is it that they take heed (reflect).
