Surah 28. Al-Qasas, Ayah 50
| فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا لَكَ فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّمَا يَتَّبِعُونَ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ ۚ وَمَنْ أَضَلُّ مِمَّنِ اتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ بِغَيْرِ هُدًى مِنَ اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ |
| Transliteration | : | fa- 'in lam yastajebo la- -ka fa- iclam 'anna-maa yattabicon ahwaa' -hum wa- man ad.all min man ittabaca hawaa -hu bi- ghayr huda(n) min 'allaah 'inna 'allaah laa yahde al- qawm az.- z.aalimen |
| Pickthall | : | And if they answer thee not, then know that what they follow is their lusts. And who goeth farther astray than he who followeth his lust without guidance from Allah. Lo! Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk. |
| Asad | : | And since they cannot respond to this thy challenge,50 know that they are following only their own likes and dislikes: and who could be more astray than he who follows [but] his own likes and dislikes without any guidance from God? Verily, God does not grace with His guidance people who are given to evildoing! |
| Malik | : | So if they do not meet this demand, you should know that they only follow their own desires. And who is more misguided than the one who follows his own desires rather than the guidance from Allah? In fact, Allah does not guide such wrongdoing people. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | But if they hearken not to thee know that they only follow their own lusts: and who is more astray than one who follows his own lusts devoid of guidance from Allah? For Allah guides not people given to wrongdoing. 3383 |
Note - 50Lit., "if they do not respond to thee", implying that
they are unable to accept the above challenge.
|
Note - 3383They were challenged to produce something better, to be a
guide in life. But as they could not, it was evident that
their objections were fractious. They were only following
their own selfish lusts of power, monopoly, and
exploitation of the poor and ignorant. How can such
people receive guidance?
