Al-A'raf 7:86 ولا تقعدوا بكل صراط توعدون وتصدون عن سبيل الله من امن به وتبغونها عوجا واذكروا اذ كنتم قليلا فكثركم وانظروا كيف كان عاقبة المفسدين ٨٦
وَلَا
تَقۡعُدُواْ
بِكُلِّ
صِرَٰطٖ
تُوعِدُونَ
وَتَصُدُّونَ
عَن
سَبِيلِ
ٱللَّهِ
مَنۡ
ءَامَنَ
بِهِۦ
وَتَبۡغُونَهَا
عِوَجٗاۚ
وَٱذۡكُرُوٓاْ
إِذۡ
كُنتُمۡ
قَلِيلٗا
فَكَثَّرَكُمۡۖ
وَٱنظُرُواْ
كَيۡفَ
كَانَ
عَٰقِبَةُ
ٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ
٨٦
Do not sit in every pathway, threatening and barring those who believe in God from His way, trying to make it crooked. Remember how you used to be few and He made you multiply. Think about the fate of those who used to spread corruption.
