And when it is said to them, "Believe as the people have believed," they say, "Should we believe as the foolish have believed?" Unquestionably, it is they who are the foolish, but they know [it] not.

(மற்ற) மனிதர்கள் ஈமான் கொண்டது போன்று நீங்களும் ஈமான் கொள்ளுங்கள் என்று அவர்களிடம் சொல்லப்பட்டால், 'மூடர்கள் ஈமான் (நம்பிக்கை) கொண்டது போல், நாங்களும் ஈமான் (நம்பிக்கை) கொள்ளவேண்டுமா?' என்று அவர்கள் கூறுகிறார்கள்; (அப்படியல்ல) நிச்சயமாக இ(ப்படிக்கூறுப)வர்களே மூடர்கள். ஆயினும் (தம் மடமையை) இவர்கள் அறிவதில்லை.

තවද "(දැහැමි) ජනයා විශ්වාස කළාක් මෙන් නුඹලා ද විශ්වාස කරනු" යැයි ඔවුනට කියනු ලැබූ කල්හි "අඥානයින් විශ්වාස කළාක් මෙන් අපත් විශ්වාස කළ යුතු දැ?" යි විමසති. අවධානයට ගනු! සැබැවින් ම අඥානයෝ ඔවුහු ම ය. එහෙත් ඔවුහු (ඒ බව) නො දනිති.
