Dreams Seen by a Blind Boy

This boy believes in the Qur’an very passionately. It is ironic that he as well as everyone else in his neighborhood is preached to follow the teachings of the Qur’an and yet when the boy dwells too much on one specific area of the Qur’an he is punished. It seems like the boy is being torn, because if he follows what it is he believes the Qur’an is telling him, which is to follow his heart, men are equal, and a person can follow there own will and do as they wish, then he is misbehaving according to societies standards. Perhaps, since the boy is blind, and he has not actually seen the bad things that occur everyday, he is naïve in the sense that he does not really know how poorly the religious teachings of the Qur’an are followed in real life. But in a way the boy is blessed because he did not have to see the horrors of the world, he could imagine it based on the images that he created in his mind from reading the Qur’an. Those who can see should open their eyes to the world and evaluate how things are run and make changes to those things that aren’t so good.
