ٱلْمُؤْمِنُون : ٣٤

  • وَلَئِنۡ And surely if
  • أَطَعۡتُم you obey
  • بَشَرٗا a man
  • مِّثۡلَكُمۡ like you
  • إِنَّكُمۡ indeed you
  • إِذٗا then
  • لَّخَٰسِرُونَ surely (will be) losers
And if you should obey a man like yourselves, indeed, you would then be losers.
And, by God, if you obey a human being like yourselves (this [clause] contains both an oath and a conditional; the response belongs to the former [the oath], which [at the same time] suffices in place of a response for the latter [the conditional]) you will surely then, that is, should you obey them, be losers, you will have been duped.
