فَمَن So whoever faman wants yuridi Allah l-lahu that an He guides him yahdiyahu He expands yashraḥ his breast ṣadrahu to Islam lil'is'lāmi and whoever waman He wants yurid that an He lets him go astray yuḍillahu He makes yajʿal his breast ṣadrahu tight ḍayyiqan and constricted ḥarajan as though ka-annamā he (were) climbing yaṣṣaʿʿadu into fī the sky l-samāi Thus kadhālika places yajʿalu Allah l-lahu the filth l-rij'sa on ʿalā those who alladhīna (do) not lā believe yu'minūna
So whoever Allāh wants to guide - He expands his breast to [contain] Islām; and whoever He wants to send astray1 - He makes his breast tight and constricted as though he were climbing into the sky. Thus does Allāh place defilement upon those who do not believe.

And [mention, O Muḥammad], the Day when He will gather them together [and say], "O company of jinn, you have [misled] many of mankind." And their allies among mankind will say, "Our Lord, some of us made use of others, and we have [now] reached our term which You appointed for us." He will say, "The Fire is your residence, wherein you will abide eternally, except for what Allāh wills. Indeed, your Lord is Wise and Knowing."

And thus will We make some of the wrongdoers allies of others for what they used to earn.1

"O company of jinn and mankind,1 did there not come to you messengers from among you, relating to you My verses and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say, "We bear witness against ourselves"; and the worldly life had deluded them, and they will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers.
