AS-SAFF


وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِ يَا قَوْمِ لِمَ تُؤْذُونَنِي وَقَدْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَلَمَّا زَاغُوا أَزَاغَ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ ۚ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِقِينَ ﴿٥﴾
٥ - اور وہ وقت یاد کرنے کے لائق ہے جب موسیٰ نے اپنی قوم سے کہا کہ اے قوم! تم مجھے کیوں ایذا دیتے ہو حالانکہ تم جانتے ہو کہ میں تمہارے پاس خدا کا بھیجا ہوا آیا ہوں۔ تو جب ان لوگوں نے کج روی کی خدا نے بھی ان کے دل ٹیڑھے کردیئے۔ اور خدا نافرمانوں کو ہدایت نہیں دیتا .
[61:5] And [mention, O Muhammad], when Moses said to his people, "O my people, why do you harm me while you certainly know that I am the messenger of Allah to you?" And when they deviated, Allah caused their hearts to deviate. And Allah does not guide the defiantly disobedient people.
[Transliteration] Wa iz qaala Moosa liqawmihee yaa qawmi lima tu'zoonanee wa qat ta'lamoona annee Rasoolul laahi ilaikum falammaa zaaghooo azaaghal laahu quloobahum, wallaahu laa yahdil qawmal faasiqeen
