Sura 22 Al-Hajj (The Pilgrimage), ayah 11

  1. وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ حَرْفٍ ۖ فَإِنْ أَصَابَهُ خَيْرٌ اطْمَأَنَّ بِهِ ۖ وَإِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ فِتْنَةٌ انْقَلَبَ عَلَىٰ وَجْهِهِ خَسِرَ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ الْخُسْرَانُ الْمُبِينُ

    Translation by words

    وَمِنَ
    And among
    ٱلنَّاسِ
    the mankind
    مَن
    (is he) who
    يَعْبُدُ
    worships
    ٱللَّهَ
    Allah
    عَلَىٰ
    on
    حَرْفٍ
    an edge.
    فَإِنْ
    And if
    أَصَابَهُۥ
    befalls him
    خَيْرٌ
    good,
    ٱطْمَأَنَّ
    he is content
    بِهِۦ
    with it,
    وَإِنْ
    and if
    أَصَابَتْهُ
    befalls him
    فِتْنَةٌ
    a trial
    ٱنقَلَبَ
    he turns
    عَلَىٰ
    on
    وَجْهِهِۦ
    his face.
    خَسِرَ
    He has lost
    ٱلدُّنْيَا
    the world
    وَٱلْءَاخِرَةَ
    and the Hereafter.
    ذَٰلِكَ
    That
    هُوَ
    [it]
    ٱلْخُسْرَانُ
    (is) the loss
    ٱلْمُبِينُ
    clear.

    And of the people is he who worships Allah on an edge. If he is touched by good, he is reassured by it; but if he is struck by trial, he turns on his face (to the other direction). He has lost (this) world and the Hereafter. That is what is the manifest loss.

    22:11
