Translation

Saheeh International

Say, "Shall we invoke instead of Allah that which neither benefits us nor harms us and be turned back on our heels after Allah has guided us? [We would then be] like one whom the devils enticed [to wander] upon the earth confused, [while] he has companions inviting him to guidance, [calling], 'Come to us.' " Say, "Indeed, the guidance of Allah is the [only] guidance; and we have been commanded to submit to the Lord of the worlds.

قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

حیرت‌زده در میان سقوط و نجات

این یه مثالی برای انسان متحیری زده که در کار خود بصیرت و بینایی ندارد و در بارةٌ سعادت خود ارادةٌ محکمی از خود نشان نمی‌دهد. او نیکوترین و استوارترین راه رسیدن به هدف را رها کرده است؛ راهی که هدایت‌شدگان قبل از اوه آن را طی کرده‌اند. او در میان شیطان‌ها و اغواگران سرگردان مانده و آنها او را به هلاکت و نابودی دعوت می‌کنند. هدایت‌شدگان قبل از اوه به سرمنزل مقصود رسیده‌اند یا نزدیک است که برسند و او را دعوت می‌کنند که نزد آنان برود؛ ولی او نمی‌داند چه کند؛ در حالی که در میان سقوط و نجات مانده است. > **پانوشت صفحه (منابع):** > ۱- نمونهء چ۵» ص ۲۸۷ > ۴ المیزان» ج۷ء ص ۱۴۹ > ۲ المیزان» ج۷ ص ۱۴۷ > ۳- نمونهء چ۰۵» ص ۲۹۴ > **Cited sources** (grade before any load-bearing use): Tafsīr Nemūneh, al-Mīzān.
