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
And Allāh presents an example of two men, one of them dumb and unable to do a thing, while he is a burden to his guardian. Wherever he directs him, he brings no good. Is he equal to one who commands justice, while he is on a straight path?
