رجل أعمى

A blind man stands with his cane extended, separated from a hostile crowd that follows behind him with raised hands, scattered stones, and accusing gestures. Above the scene, enlarged faces loom like the unseen force of gossip, judgment, and public condemnation. The work presents blindness not only as a physical condition but as a mirror held up to society’s spiritual sight.

In Christian teaching, the blind man recalls John 9, where Jesus rejects the assumption that suffering is always caused by personal sin and instead reveals the works of God through mercy. The image also speaks to the danger of religious or social cruelty: a community can claim vision while acting in spiritual blindness. Useful for sermons, Bible studies, ministry resources, and teaching on compassion, slander, disability, and the call to defend the vulnerable.
