Explanatory Note

In view of man’s arrogance, which makes him believe that he is invincible, and in view of his meanness and claims of having spent abundantly, the Qur’an puts before him the bounties God has bestowed on him which are manifested in his inherent abilities, although he has depreciated them. He has given him eyes which are marvellous, precise and powerful. These are the favours bestowed on man to help him follow right guidance: his eyes with which he recognizes the evidence of God’s might and the signs throughout the universe which should prompt him to adopt the faith.
