ضَرَبَ
اللَّهُ
مَثَلًا
رَّجُلًا
فِيهِ
شُرَكَاءُ
مُتَشَاكِسُونَ
وَرَجُلًا
سَلَمًا
لِّرَجُلٍ
هَلْ
يَسْتَوِيَانِ
مَثَلًا
الْحَمْدُ
لِلَّهِ
بَلْ
أَكْثَرُهُمْ
لَا
يَعْلَمُونَ
ḍaraba llāhu mathalan rajulan fīhi shurakāʾu mutashākisūna wa-rajulan salaman li-rajulin hal yastawiyāni mathalan-i l-ḥamdu li-llāhi bal ʾaktharuhum lā yaʿlamūna
God tells a parable in which there is a company of quarrelsome people and only one of them is well disciplined. Can they be considered as equal? It is only God who deserves all praise. In fact, most of them do not know.
