ضرب الله مثلا رجلا فيه شركاء متشاكسون ورجلا سلما لرجل هل يستويان مثلا الحمد لله بل اكثرهم لا يعلمون

God puts forth a Parable— A man belonging to many Partners at variance with each other, And a man belonging entirely To one master: are those two Equal in comparison? Praise be to God! But most of them Have no knowledge.
