How he rejects Him and forgets Him, and worships others instead of Him: “Verily, it is not the eyes that grow blind, but it is the hearts which are in the breasts that grow blind.” (Qur’an, 22:46)Is not He (better than your gods) Who created the heavens and the earth, and sends down for you water (rain) from the sky, whereby We cause to grow wonderful gardens full of beauty and delight? It is not in your ability to cause the growth of their trees. Is there any ilah (god) with Allah? Nay, but they are a people who ascribe equals (to Him)!“ Where flowering rapidly declines try feeding the bulbs. As the growing points emerge in the spring apply Growmore at a rate of 70g per sq m (2oz per sq yd) sprinkled evenly on the soil surface around the bulbs. After flowering, especially for container-grown bulbs, apply a highpotassium liquid feed, such as tomato food at one to two week intervals from when the blooms have faded until the first signs of yellowing of foliage So have they not traveled through the earth and have hearts by which to reason and ears by which to hear?

Truly it is not their eyes that are blind, but their hearts which are in their breasts.

Have they never journeyed through the land so that they have hearts to understand, or ears to hear with? It is not the eyes, but the hearts in the chests that are blind.
