Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books A Divine Perspective on Rights Right n. 5: The Right of the Sight حق البصر وَأَمَّا حَقُّ بَصَرِكَ فَغَضُّهُ عَمَّا لا يَحِلُّ لَكَ وتَرْكُ ابْتِذَالِهِ إلاّ لِمَوضِعِ عِبْرَةٍ تَسْتَقْبلُ بهَا بَصَرًا أَو تَسْتَفِيدُ بهَا عِلْمًا، فَإنَّ الْبَصَرَ بَابُ الِاعْتِبَارِ. And the right of your sight is that you lower it before everything which is unlawful to you.
And that you abandon using it except in situations in which you can take heed in such a way that you gain insight or acquire knowledge by it. Indeed the sight is the gateway to reflection. Both vision and the eyes are considered here.
For example, consider the following verse: وَمَا أَمْرُ السَّاعَةِ إِلاَّ كَلَمْحِ الْبَصَرِ “And the Decision of the Hour (of Judgment) is as the twinkling of an eye.” [The Holy Qur’an, al-Naĥl 16:77] Also, consider the following verse: وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْسَّمْعَ وَالأَبْصَارَ وَالأَفْئِدَةَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ “And He gave you hearing and sight and intelligence and affections: that ye may give thanks (to God).” [The Holy Qur’an, al-Naĥl 16:78] It also covers the concept of insight.
For example, consider the following verse: قُلْ هَـذِهِ سَبِيلِي أَدْعُو إِلَى اللّهِ عَلَى بَصِيرَةٍ أَنَاْ وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَنِي وَسُبْحَانَ اللّهِ وَمَا أَنَاْ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ “Say thou: "This is my way: I do invite unto God, - on evidence clear as the seeing with one's eyes, - I and whoever follows me. Glory to God!
And never will I join gods with God!" [The Holy Qur’an, Yusuf 12:108] The Vision System: A Multidisciplinary One The vision system is so important in our understanding that it is given special consideration in psychology. It is so important in physics because it is related to light and optics. It is given especial consideration by philosophers because it is important in discovering mysterious things. It is of especial consideration in biology because it is an important part of the human body.
Thus, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the subject of study of several fields of science. Proper Use of the Eyes God the Almighty advised us about the importance of the eyes in the Holy Qur’an: أَلَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُ عَيْنَيْنِ “Have We not made for him a pair of eyes?” [The Holy Qur’an, al-Balad 90:8] The eyes are man’s most important means of communicating with the outside world. The eyes are so amazing that they force us to be humble to our Creator.
