Sura 54
Aya 47
47
إِنَّ المُجرِمينَ في ضَلالٍ وَسُعُرٍ

Yusuf Ali

Truly those in sin are the ones straying in mind, and mad.1
  • Cf. 54:24 above. Note how the tables are turned in the argument by the repetition. The unjust think that the godly are wandering in mind and mad. They will find that it is really they who were wandering in mind, and mad, even when they were in the plenitude of their power and in the enjoyment of all the good things of this life. These minor echoes heighten the effect of the major refrain mentioned in the Introduction.
