Sura 16
Aya 25
25
لِيَحمِلوا أَوزارَهُم كامِلَةً يَومَ القِيامَةِ ۙ وَمِن أَوزارِ الَّذينَ يُضِلّونَهُم بِغَيرِ عِلمٍ ۗ أَلا ساءَ ما يَزِرونَ

Muhammad Asad

Hence,1 on Resurrection Day they shall bear the full weight of their own burdens, as well as some of the burdens of those ignorant ones whom they have led astray:2 oh, how evil the load with which they shall be burdened!
  • The conjunction li prefixed to the verb yahmila ("they shall carry") has here obviously - as pointed out by Razi - the function of what the grammarians call a lam al-aqibah, indicating no more than a causal sequence ('aqibah); it may be appropriately rendered by means of the conjunctive particle "and" or - as in this context - by the adverb "hence".
  • Lit., "those whom they are leading astray without knowledge" - i.e., without knowledge or understanding on the latters' part (Zamakhshari).
