ٱلْفُرْقَان : ٤٢

  • إِن He would have almost
  • كَادَ He would have almost
  • لَيُضِلُّنَا [surely] misled us
  • عَنۡ from
  • ءَالِهَتِنَا our gods
  • لَوۡلَآ if not
  • أَن that
  • صَبَرۡنَا we had been steadfast
  • عَلَيۡهَاۚ to them
  • وَسَوۡفَ And soon
  • يَعۡلَمُونَ will know
  • حِينَ when
  • يَرَوۡنَ they will see
  • ٱلۡعَذَابَ the punishment
  • مَنۡ who
  • أَضَلُّ (is) more astray
  • سَبِيلًا (from the) way
He almost would have misled us from our gods had we not been steadfast in [worship of] them." But they are going to know, when they see the punishment, who is farthest astray in [his] way.
Indeed (in, softened in place of the hardened form, with its subject omitted, namely, innahu) he was about to lead us astray, turn us away, from our gods, had we not stood by them', he would have turned us away from them. God, exalted be He, says: And soon they will know, when they behold the chastisement, with their own eyes in the Hereafter, who is further astray from the way, who is further upon the path of error: they or the believers?
