k-m-h

Description

The Arabic root كمه (k-m-h) conveys the core meaning of congenital blindness or being born without sight, distinguishing it from blindness acquired later in life. In the Quran, this root appears in verses describing those who are blind from birth, emphasizing a permanent state of visual impairment that serves as both a literal physical condition and a powerful metaphor for spiritual blindness and inability to perceive divine truth. The Quranic usage often contrasts physical blindness with the more serious condition of spiritual blindness, where individuals cannot see or recognize God's signs despite having functional eyes.
