Deaf

The example of those who disbelieve is like that of one who shouts at what hears nothing but calls and cries [i.e., cattle or sheep] - deaf, dumb and blind, so they do not understand.

Deaf, dumb and blind - so they will not return [to the right path].

And they thought there would be no [resulting] punishment, so they became blind and deaf. Then Allāh turned to them in forgiveness; then [again] many of them became blind and deaf. And Allāh is Seeing of what they do.

But those who deny Our verses are deaf and dumb within darknesses. Whomever Allāh wills - He sends astray; and whomever He wills - He puts him on a straight path.

Indeed, the worst of living creatures in the sight of Allāh are the deaf and dumb who do not use reason [i.e., the disbelievers].

The example of the two parties is like the blind and deaf, and the seeing and hearing. Are they equal in comparison? Then, will you not remember?

And whoever Allāh guides - he is the [rightly] guided; and whoever He sends astray¹ - you will never find for them protectors besides Him, and We will gather them on the Day of Resurrection [fallen] on their faces - blind, dumb and deaf. Their refuge is Hell; every time it subsides, We increase [for] them blazing fire.

Say, "I only warn you by revelation." But the deaf do not hear the call when they are warned.

And those who, when reminded of the verses of their Lord, do not fall upon them deaf and blind.

Indeed, you will not make the dead hear, nor will you make the deaf hear the call when they have turned their backs retreating.

So indeed, you will not make the dead hear, nor will you make the deaf hear the call when they turn their backs, retreating.

Those [who do so] are the ones that Allāh has cursed, so He deafened them and blinded their vision.
