Sura 42
Aya 44
44
وَمَن يُضلِلِ اللَّهُ فَما لَهُ مِن وَلِيٍّ مِن بَعدِهِ ۗ وَتَرَى الظّالِمينَ لَمّا رَأَوُا العَذابَ يَقولونَ هَل إِلىٰ مَرَدٍّ مِن سَبيلٍ

Muhammad Asad

AND [thus it is:] he whom God lets go astray1 has henceforth no protector whatever: and so thou wilt see such evildoers2 [on Judgment Day, and wilt hear how] they exclaim as soon as they behold the suffering [that awaits them], "Is there any way of return?"3
  • See note 4 on 14:4.
  • Although this is primarily a reference to "those who oppress [other] people and behave outrageously on earth, offending against all right" (verse 42 above), the meaning of the term is general, applying to all kinds of deliberate evildoers.
  • I.e., a "second chance" on earth: cf. 6:27-28.
