An-Nahl 16:76 وضرب الله مثلا رجلين احدهما ابكم لا يقدر على شيء وهو كل على مولاه اينما يوجهه لا يات بخير هل يستوي هو ومن يامر بالعدل وهو على صراط مستقيم ٧٦
وَضَرَبَ
ٱللَّهُ
مَثَلٗا
رَّجُلَيۡنِ
أَحَدُهُمَآ
أَبۡكَمُ
لَا
يَقۡدِرُ
عَلَىٰ
شَيۡءٖ
وَهُوَ
كَلٌّ
عَلَىٰ
مَوۡلَىٰهُ
أَيۡنَمَا
يُوَجِّههُّ
لَا
يَأۡتِ
بِخَيۡرٍ
هَلۡ
يَسۡتَوِي
هُوَ
وَمَن
يَأۡمُرُ
بِٱلۡعَدۡلِ
وَهُوَ
عَلَىٰ
صِرَٰطٖ
مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ
٧٦
God presents another illustration: two men, one of them dumb, unable to do anything, a burden to his carer- whatever task he directs him to, he achieves nothing good- can he be considered equal to one who commands justice and is on the straight path?
