مَّثَلُ
الَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوا
بِرَبِّهِمْ
أَعْمَالُهُمْ
كَرَمَادٍ
اشْتَدَّتْ
بِهِ
الرِّيحُ
فِي
يَوْمٍ
عَاصِفٍ
لَّا
يَقْدِرُونَ
مِمَّا
كَسَبُوا
عَلَى
شَيْءٍ
ذَلِكَ
هُوَ
الضَّلَالُ
الْبَعِيدُ

The parable of those who reject their Lord is that their works are as ashes, on which the wind blows furiously on a tempestuous day: No power have they over aught that they have earned: that is the straying far, far (from the goal).
— Abdullah Yusufali
A parable of those who defy their Lord: their deeds are like ashes over which the wind blows hard on a tempestuous day: they have no power over anything they have earned. That is extreme error.
