ٱلْفُرْقَان : ٤٣

  • أَرَءَيۡتَ Have you seen
  • مَنِ (one) who
  • ٱتَّخَذَ takes
  • إِلَٰهَهُۥ (as) his god
  • هَوَىٰهُ his own desire
  • أَفَأَنتَ Then would you
  • تَكُونُ be
  • عَلَيۡهِ over him
  • وَكِيلًا a guardian
Have you seen the one who takes as his god his own desire? Then would you be responsible for him?
Have you seen - inform Me [about] - him who has taken as his god his own desire?, that is, as something that will be bring about his ruin (the indirect object [ilaahahu, 'as his god'] precedes the direct object because it is more important; the clause [beginning] man ittakhadha, 'him who has taken', constitutes the first direct object of a-ra'ayta, 'have you seen', the second being [the following, a-fa-anta .]) Will you be a guardian over him?, a protector to preserve him from following his desires? No.
