Verses 26-27

اِنَّ ‬اللّهَ ‬لاَ ‬يَسْتَحْيِي ‬اَن ‬يَضْرِبَ ‬مَثَلاً ‬مَّا بَعُوضَةً ‬فَمَا فَوْقَهَا فَاَمَّا ‬الَّذِينَ ‬آمَنُواْ ‬فَيَعْلَمُونَ ‬اَنَّهُ ‬الْحَقُّ ‬مِن رَّبِّهِمْ ‬وَاَمَّا الَّذِينَ ‬كَفَرُواْ ‬فَيَقُولُونَ ‬مَاذَا اَرَادَ ‬اللّهُ ‬بِهَذَا مَثَلاً ‬يُضِلُّ ‬بِهِ ‬كَثِيراً ‬وَيَهْدِي ‬بِهِ ‬كَثِيراً ‬وَمَا ‬يُضِلُّ ‬بِهِ ‬اِلاَّ ‬الْفَاسِقِينَ ❊ ‬الَّذِينَ ‬يَنقُضُونَ ‬عَهْدَ ‬اللّهِ ‬مِن بَعْدِ ‬مِيثَاقِهِ ‬وَيَقْطَعُونَ ‬مَا اَمَرَ ‬اللّهُ ‬بِهِ ‬اَن ‬يُوصَلَ ‬وَيُفْسِدُونَ ‬فِي ‬اْلاَرْضِ ‬اُولئِكَ ‬هُمُ ‬الْخَاسِرُونَ

Behold, Allah does not disdain to propound a parable of a gnat, or of something [even] less than that. Now, as for those who believe, they know that it is the truth from their Lord and Sustainer – whereas those who reject faith say, ‘What means Allah by this parable?’ By it He causes many to go astray, and many He guides aright; but none does he cause thereby to go astray save those who forsake [the path] – ∗ Who break Allah’s covenant after it has been ratified, and cut asunder what Allah has bidden to be joined, and spread corruption on earth; these it is that shall be the losers. (Inna Allāha lā yastaḥyī an yaḍriba mathalan mā ba‘ūḍatan fa-mā fawqahā fa-ammā alladhīna āmanū fa-ya‘lamūna annahu al-ḥaqqu min rabbihim wa ammā alladhīna kafarū fa-yaqūlūna mādhā arāda Allāhu bi-hādhā mathalan yuḍillu bi-hi kathīran wa yahdī bi-hi kathīran wa mā yuḍillu bi-hi illā al-fāsiqīn ∗ Alladhīna yanquḍūna ‘ahd Allāh min ba’d mithāqihi wa yaqṭa’ūna mā amara Allāh bi-hi an yūṣala wa yufsidūna fī al-arḍ ūlā’ika humu al-khāsirūn.)
