لَا تُدْرِكُهُ الْأَبْصَارُ وَهُوَ يُدْرِكُ الْأَبْصَارَ
Eyes do not encompass Him, while He comprehends all eyes. (Qur’an 6:103)
The verse “Vision does not encompass Him” is cited by opponents as a denial of sight. The response examines idrāk: does it mean every mode of seeing, or full comprehension and encompassing something within limits?
If idrāk here means encompassing, its denial does not automatically exclude vision altogether. Another question concerns the scope of the negation: does it apply to every instance, condition and mode, or to a specific kind of comprehension? Context and precise linguistic use must precede a decisive conclusion.
