وَبَرَزُوا۟
لِلَّهِ
جَمِيعًۭا
فَقَالَ
ٱلضُّعَفَـٰٓؤُا۟
لِلَّذِينَ
ٱسْتَكْبَرُوٓا۟
إِنَّا
كُنَّا
لَكُمْ
تَبَعًۭا
فَهَلْ
أَنتُم
مُّغْنُونَ
عَنَّا
مِنْ
عَذَابِ
ٱللَّهِ
مِن
شَىْءٍۢ ۚ
قَالُوا۟
لَوْ
هَدَىٰنَا
ٱللَّهُ
لَهَدَيْنَـٰكُمْ ۖ
سَوَآءٌ
عَلَيْنَآ
أَجَزِعْنَآ
أَمْ
صَبَرْنَا
مَا
لَنَا
مِن
مَّحِيصٍۢ

When they all appear before Him, the weak will say to the powerseekers, ‘We were your followers. Can you protect us from any of God’s punishment?’ They will reply, ‘If God had guided us, we would have guided you. It makes no difference now whether we rage or endure with patience: there is no escape.’
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
