Abstract

The meaning of uli al-abṣār in the Qur’an is generally the same. The context of the verse also does not make a significant difference. The interpretation of uli al-abṣār leads to people with vision and the ability to think. Sayyid Quṭb, on the other hand, holds a different viewpoint. These differences cannot be separated from his intellectual journey and the character of his interpretation, Fī Dhilāl al-Qur’ān. His interpretation demonstrates that the heart plays an important role in drawing lessons from Allah's stories and verses. This paper will explain the concept of uli al-abṣār from Sayyid Quṭb’s interpretation. This study concludes that uli al-abṣār has four concepts: first, uli al-abṣār is not only associated with the zahir eye; second, uli al-abṣār is a person who consistently reads written verses and kauniyah; third, uli al-abṣār is the nature of the prophets, and fourth, uli al-abṣār is associated with good deeds
