ولا تقعدوا بكل صراط توعدون وتصدون عن سبيل الله من امن به وتبغونها عوجا واذكروا اذ كنتم قليلا فكثركم وانظروا كيف كان عاقبة المفسدين

"And squat not on every road, Breathing threats, hindering From the path of God Those who believe in Him, And seeking in it Something crooked; But remember how ye were Little, and He gave you increase. And hold in your mind's eye What was the end Of those who did mischief.
