إِبْرَاهِيم : ٢١

  • وَبَرَزُواْ And they will come forth
  • لِلَّهِ before Allah
  • جَمِيعٗا all together
  • فَقَالَ then will say
  • ٱلضُّعَفَٰٓؤُاْ the weak
  • لِلَّذِينَ to those who
  • ٱسۡتَكۡبَرُوٓاْ were arrogant
  • إِنَّا Indeed, we
  • كُنَّا we were
  • لَكُمۡ your
  • تَبَعٗا followers
  • فَهَلۡ so can
  • أَنتُم you (be)
  • مُّغۡنُونَ the one who avails
  • عَنَّا us
  • مِنۡ from
  • عَذَابِ (the) punishment
  • ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah
  • مِن anything
  • شَيۡءٖۚ anything
  • قَالُواْ They will say
  • لَوۡ If
  • هَدَىٰنَا Allah had guided us
  • ٱللَّهُ Allah had guided us
  • لَهَدَيۡنَٰكُمۡۖ surely we would have guided you
  • سَوَآءٌ (It is) same
  • عَلَيۡنَآ for us
  • أَجَزِعۡنَآ whether we show intolerance
  • أَمۡ or
  • صَبَرۡنَا we are patient
  • مَا not
  • لَنَا (is) for us
  • مِن any
  • مَّحِيصٖ place of escape
And they will come out [for judgement] before Allāh all together, and the weak will say to those who were arrogant, "Indeed, we were your followers, so can you avail us anything against the punishment of Allāh?" They will say, "If Allāh had guided us, we would have guided you. It is all the same for us whether we show intolerance or are patient: there is for us no place of escape."
And they, that is, [all] creatures, sally forth to God (wa-barazoo: this, and what follows, is expressed in the past tense because it will come to pass) all together; then the weak, the followers, say to those who were arrogant, those who were followed: 'Indeed we were your followers (taba'an is the plural of taabi'). Will you then avail, defend, us against the chastisement of God in any way?' (min 'adhaabi'Llaahi min shay'in: the first min is explicative, while the second one is partitive). They, the ones followed, say, 'If God had guided us, we would have guided you, we would have called you to [right] guidance. It is the same for us whether we rage [impatiently] or patiently endure; we do not have any asylum', [any] refuge (min mahees, 'any asylum', min is extra).
