بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

۞ إِنَّ
ٱللَّهَ
لَا
يَسْتَحْىِۦٓ
أَن
يَضْرِبَ
مَثَلًۭا
مَّا
بَعُوضَةًۭ
فَمَا
فَوْقَهَا ۚ
فَأَمَّا
ٱلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُوا۟
فَيَعْلَمُونَ
أَنَّهُ
ٱلْحَقُّ
مِن
رَّبِّهِمْ ۖ
وَأَمَّا
ٱلَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوا۟
فَيَقُولُونَ
مَاذَآ
أَرَادَ
ٱللَّهُ
بِهَـٰذَا
مَثَلًۭا ۘ
يُضِلُّ
بِهِۦ
كَثِيرًۭا
وَيَهْدِى
بِهِۦ
كَثِيرًۭا ۚ
وَمَا
يُضِلُّ
بِهِۦٓ
إِلَّا
ٱلْفَـٰسِقِينَ

God does not shy from drawing comparisons even with something as small as a gnat, or larger: the believers know it is the truth from their Lord, but the disbelievers say, ‘What does God mean by such a comparison?’ Through it He makes many go astray and leads many to the right path. But it is only the rebels He makes go astray:
