Arabic

وَضَرَبَ اللّٰهُ مَثَلًا رَّجُلَيْنِ اَحَدُهُمَآ اَبْكَمُ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلٰى شَيْءٍ وَّهُوَ كَلٌّ عَلٰى مَوْلٰىهُ ۗ اَيْنَمَا يُوَجِّهْهُّ لَا يَأْتِ بِخَيْرٍ ۖهَلْ يَسْتَوِيْ هُوَۙ وَمَنْ يَّأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ وَهُوَ عَلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ ࣖ ۝٧٦

Transliteration

Wa ḍoroballāhu maṡalar rojulaini aḥaduhumā abkamu lā yaqdiru ‘alā syai'iw wa huwa kallun ‘alā maulāh, ainamā yuwajjihhu lā ya'ti bikhoir, hal yastawī huw, wa may ya'muru bil-‘adli wa huwa ‘alā ṣirōṭim mustaqīm

Meaning

And Allah cites the example of two men: one of them dumb, unable to do anything, and is a burden on his master; whichever way he directs him, he achieves nothing good. Is he equal to him who commands justice, and is on a straight path?
