ان الله لا يستحيي ان يضرب مثلا ما بعوضة فما فوقها فاما الذين امنوا فيعلمون انه الحق من ربهم واما الذين كفروا فيقولون ماذا اراد الله بهذا مثلا يضل به كثيرا ويهدي به كثيرا وما يضل به الا الفاسقين

God disdains not to use The similitude of things, Lowest as well as highest. Those who believe know That it is truth from their Lord; But those who reject Faith say: "What means God by this similitude?" By it He causes many to stray, And many He leads into the right path; But He causes not to stray, Except those who forsake (the path),—
