وَلَا
تَكُونُوا
كَالَّذِينَ
خَرَجُوا
مِن
دِيَارِهِم
بَطَرًا
وَرِئَاءَ
النَّاسِ
وَيَصُدُّونَ
عَن
سَبِيلِ
اللَّهِ
وَاللَّهُ
بِمَا
يَعْمَلُونَ
مُحِيطٌ
wa-lā takūnū ka-lladhīna kharajū min diyārihim baṭaran wa-riʾāʾa n-nāsi wa-yaṣuddūna ʿan sabīli llāhi wa-llāhu bi-mā yaʿmalūna muḥīṭun
And be not like those who started from their homes insolently and to be seen of men, and to hinder (men) from the path of Allah: For Allah compasseth round about all that they do.
— Abdullah Yusufali
Do not be like those who left their homes vainly and to show off to the people, and to bar [other people] from the way of Allah, and Allah comprehends what they do.
