Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The faculty of sight is a very great blessing from Allah Ta’ala. If a person does not have a deep connection with Allah Ta’ala, then life without this blessing is darkness. However, if one’s connection with Allah Ta’ala is strong, and one shows gratitude and patience regarding this blessing, then its reward is also very great.
