Sura 40 Ghafir (The Forgiver), ayah 34

  1. وَلَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ يُوسُفُ مِنْ قَبْلُ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَمَا زِلْتُمْ فِي شَكٍّ مِمَّا جَاءَكُمْ بِهِ ۖ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا هَلَكَ قُلْتُمْ لَنْ يَبْعَثَ اللَّهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ رَسُولًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ مُسْرِفٌ مُرْتَابٌ

    Translation by words

    وَلَقَدْ
    And indeed,
    جَآءَكُمْ
    came to you
    يُوسُفُ
    Yusuf
    مِن
    before
    قَبْلُ
    before
    بِٱلْبَيِّنَٰتِ
    with clear proofs,
    فَمَا
    but not
    زِلْتُمْ
    you ceased
    فِى
    in
    شَكٍّ
    doubt
    مِّمَّا
    about what
    جَآءَكُم
    he brought to you
    بِهِۦ
    [with it],
    حَتَّىٰٓ
    until
    إِذَا
    when
    هَلَكَ
    he died,
    قُلْتُمْ
    you said,
    لَن
    "Never
    يَبْعَثَ
    will Allah raise
    ٱللَّهُ
    will Allah raise
    مِنۢ
    after him
    بَعْدِهِۦ
    after him
    رَسُولًا
    a Messenger."
    كَذَٰلِكَ
    Thus,
    يُضِلُّ
    Allah lets go astray
    ٱللَّهُ
    Allah lets go astray
    مَنْ
    who
    هُوَ
    [he]
    مُسْرِفٌ
    (is) a transgressor,
    مُّرْتَابٌ
    a doubter."

    And Joseph had already come to you before with clear proofs, but you remained in doubt of that which he brought to you, until when he died, you said, 'Never will Allah send a messenger after him.' Thus does Allah leave astray he who is a transgressor and skeptic."

    40:34
