(நபியே!) அவர்கள் நேர்வழி பெற்றிடவேண்டுமென்று நீர் பேராவல் கொண்ட போதிலும், அல்லாஹ் யாரை வழிதவற வைத்தானோ அத்தகையோரை நேர்வழியில் சேர்க்க மாட்டான் - இன்னும் அவர்களுக்கு உதவி செய்வோரும் எவருமில்லை.

ඔවුන්ගේ යහ මග පිළිබඳ නුඹ ආශා කළ ද නියත වශයෙන් ම අල්ලාහ් නොමග හැරියවුනට මග නො පෙන්වනු ඇත. තවද ඔවුනට උදව්කරුවන් අතරින් කිසිවකු ද නොමැත.
