surely allah is not ashamed to set forth any parable a gnat or any thing above that then as for those who believe they know that it is the truth from their lord and as for those who disbelieve they say what is it that allah means by this parable he causes many to err by it and many he leads aright by it! but he does not cause to err by it except the transgressors who break the covenant of allah after its confirmation and cut asunder what allah has ordered to be joined and make mischief in the land these it is that are the losers.
إن الله لا يستحيي أن يضرب مثلا ما بعوضة فما فوقها فأما الذين آمنوا فيعلمون أنه الحق من ربهم وأما الذين كفروا فيقولون ماذا أراد الله بهذا مثلا يضل به كثيرا ويهدي به كثيرا وما يضل به إلا الفاسقين الذين ينقضون عهد الله من بعد ميثاقه ويقطعون ما أمر الله به أن يوصل ويفسدون في الأرض أولئك هم الخاسرون
