nor can you lead the blind out of their error. You can only make those hear — hear so as to comprehend and accept — who believe in Our signs — the Qur’ān — and have therefore submitted are therefore sincere in their affirmation of God’s Oneness.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Nor canst thou) O Muhammad (lead the blind out of their error) to guidance. (Thou canst make none to hear) your call, (save those who believe Our revelations) Our Scripture and Messenger (and who have surrendered) and are sincere in their worship and profession of Allah's divine Oneness.
