Surah 26. Ash-Shu'araa, Ayah 99
| وَمَا أَضَلَّنَا إِلَّا الْمُجْرِمُونَ |
| Asad | : | yet they who have seduced us [into believing in you] are the truly guilty ones!46 |
| Malik | : | It was the criminals who led us astray. |
| Pickthall | : | It was but the guilty who misled us. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | " `And our seducers were only those who were steeped in guilt. 3184 |
| Transliteration | : | Wama adallana illa almujrimoona |
Note - 46Lit., "yet none but those guilty ones (al-mujrimun) have
led us astray": cf. 7:38, {33:67-68}, {38:60-61} and
the corresponding notes.

Note - 3184They now see that the people who seduced them were
themselves evil and subject to the penalities of evil,
and their seductions were frauds. They feel that they
ought to have seen it before. For who would deliberately
follow the paths of those condemned to misery and
punishment? How simple they were not to see the true
character of their seducers, though they had been warned
again and again against them! It was their own folly that
made them accept such obviously false guidance!
