Read in Context

Chapter 7, Page 173, Juz 9

175. And relate to them ˹O Prophet˺ the story of the one to whom We gave Our signs, but he abandoned them, so Satan took hold of him, and he became a deviant. 176. If We had willed, We would have elevated him with Our signs, but he clung to this life—following his evil desires. His example is that of a dog: if you chase it away, it pants, and if you leave it, it ˹still˺ pants. This is the example of the people who deny Our signs. So narrate ˹to them˺ stories ˹of the past˺, so perhaps they will reflect. 177. What an evil example of those who denied Our signs! They ˹only˺ wronged their own souls. 178. Whoever Allah guides is truly guided. And whoever He leaves to stray, they are the ˹true˺ losers.
