وَمَا
أَرْسَلْنَا
مِن
رَّسُولٍ
إِلَّا
بِلِسَانِ
قَوْمِهِ
لِيُبَيِّنَ
لَهُمْ
فَيُضِلُّ
اللَّهُ
مَن
يَشَاءُ
وَيَهْدِي
مَن
يَشَاءُ
وَهُوَ
الْعَزِيزُ
الْحَكِيمُ
wa-mā ʾarsalnā min rasūlin ʾillā bi-lisāni qawmihī li-yubayyina lahum fa-yuḍillu llāhu man yashāʾu wa-yahdī man yashāʾu wa-huwa l-ʿazīzu l-ḥakīmu
We sent not a messenger except (to teach) in the language of his (own) people, in order to make (things) clear to them. Now Allah leaves straying those whom He pleases and guides whom He pleases: and He is Exalted in power, full of Wisdom.
— Abdullah Yusufali
We did not send any apostle except with the language of his people, so that he might make [Our messages] clear to them. Then Allah leads astray whomever He wishes, and He guides whomsoever He wishes, and He is the All-mighty, the All-wise.
