لَّا تُدۡرِکُہُ الۡاَبۡصٰرُ وَہُوَ یُدۡرِکُ الۡاَبۡصٰرَ ۖ وَہُوَ اللَّطِیۡفُ الۡخَبِیۡرُ
یعنی انسان اپنے علم کے زور سے اسے نہیں دیکھ سکتا۔ مگر خداتعالیٰ اپنے فضل سے اس کے پاس آکر جلوہ گر ہوتا ہے اور اس طرح انسان کو اس کی رؤیت ہوتی ہے۔
22:64; 67:15.
Absar being the plural of Basar which means, sight or understanding, and Latif meaning, incomprehensible; subtle (Lane & Taj), the verse means that human reason alone, unaided by Divine revelation, is incapable of comprehending God. He cannot be seen with physical eyes but reveals Himself to man through His Prophets or through the working of His attributes. He is also perceived by spiritual eyes.
22:64; 67:15.

Commentary:
Some persons may claim that they can know or reach God by means of reason or understanding alone. The Quran forcefully refutes this idea by saying, Eyes cannot reach Him, i.e. human reason alone, unaided by Divine help, is incapable of knowing or reaching God. It is God Himself Who reaches the eyes (viz. human understanding) and reveals Himself to man, i.e. God has, on the one hand, placed in human mind a power to search after and know Him, and, on the other, He sends down revelation to man, thereby making Himself known to him. Revelation also helps to kindle in human reason a light by means of which man is enabled to know God.
The two Divine attributes اللطیف (Incomprehensible) and الخبیر (All-Aware) furnish in a most beautiful manner the reason of the two claims made in the opening words of the verse. The first claim is that Eyes cannot reach Him, the corresponding reason being stated to be that He is Subtle and Incomprehensible, and being so, He cannot be comprehended by human reason alone. The second claim is that He reaches the eyes, the corresponding reason being stated to be that He is All-Aware, and being so, He knows that mankind stands in need of knowing Him without which there can be no spiritual life, so He Himself approaches man and reveals Himself to him. The two claims have thus been followed, in a perfect natural order, by two corresponding reasons. The reader should note what wise order governs the arrangement of the words of the Quran. They have not been put together at random, but each word has been put in the most appropriate place and is meant to fulfil a great purpose.

اَبْصَارْ (Absar) 是 بَصَرْ (Basar) 的复数, 意思是看见或理解。لَطِيْف (Latif) 的意思是, 不能理解的; 微妙的、难以捉摸的 (Lane和 تَاجْ, Taj)。这节经文的意思是, 只有人类的理智或推理而不借助於安拉的启示是不能理解安拉的。安拉是不能用肉眼看到的, 而是通过他派遣的先知或通过他的常德的作用向人类作启示的。安拉也可用精神的眼力来觉察。
