۞ إِنَّ Indeed inna Allah l-laha (is) not lā ashamed yastaḥyī to an set forth yaḍriba an example mathalan (like) even mā (of) a mosquito baʿūḍatan and (even) something famā above it fawqahā Then as for fa-ammā those who alladhīna believed āmanū [thus] they will know fayaʿlamūna that it annahu (is) the truth l-ḥaqu from min their Lord rabbihim And as for wa-ammā those who alladhīna disbelieved kafarū [thus] they will say fayaqūlūna what mādhā (did) intend arāda Allah l-lahu by this bihādhā example mathalan He lets go astray yuḍillu by it bihi many kathīran and He guides wayahdī by it bihi many kathīran And not wamā He lets go astray yuḍillu by it bihi except illā the defiantly disobedient l-fāsiqīna
Indeed, Allāh is not timid to present an example - that of a mosquito or what is smaller1 than it. And those who have believed know that it is the truth from their Lord. But as for those who disbelieve, they say, "What did Allāh intend by this as an example?" He misleads many thereby and guides many thereby. And He misleads not except the defiantly disobedient,
