۞ ضَرَبَ Allah sets forth ٱللَّهُ Allah sets forth مَثَلًا the example عَبْدًۭا (of) a slave مَّمْلُوكًۭا (who is) owned لَّا not يَقْدِرُ he has power عَلَىٰ on شَىْءٍۢ anything وَمَن and (one) whom رَّزَقْنَـٰهُ We provided him مِنَّا from Us رِزْقًا a provision حَسَنًۭا good فَهُوَ so he يُنفِقُ spends مِنْهُ from it سِرًّۭا secretly وَجَهْرًا ۖ and publicly هَلْ Can يَسْتَوُۥنَ ۚ they be equal ٱلْحَمْدُ All praise لِلَّهِ ۚ (is) for Allah بَلْ Nay أَكْثَرُهُمْ but most of them لَا (do) not يَعْلَمُونَ know ٧٥
Allāh presents an example: a slave [who is] owned and unable to do a thing and he to whom We have provided from Us good provision, so he spends from it secretly and publicly. Can they be equal? Praise to Allāh! But most of them do not know.

وَضَرَبَ And Allah sets forth ٱللَّهُ And Allah sets forth مَثَلًۭا an example رَّجُلَيْنِ (of) two men أَحَدُهُمَآ one of them أَبْكَمُ (is) dumb لَا not يَقْدِرُ he has power عَلَىٰ on شَىْءٍۢ anything وَهُوَ while he كَلٌّ (is) a burden عَلَىٰ on مَوْلَىٰهُ his master أَيْنَمَا Wherever يُوَجِّههُّ he directs him لَا not يَأْتِ he comes بِخَيْرٍ ۖ with any good هَلْ Is يَسْتَوِى equal هُوَ he وَمَن and (the one) who يَأْمُرُ commands بِٱلْعَدْلِ ۙ [of] justice وَهُوَ and he عَلَىٰ (is) on صِرَٰطٍۢ a path مُّسْتَقِيمٍۢ straight ٧٦
And Allāh presents an example of two men, one of them dumb and unable to do a thing, while he is a burden to his guardian. Wherever he directs him, he brings no good. Is he equal to one who commands justice, while he is on a straight path?

And to Allāh belongs the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth. And the command for the Hour is not but as a glance of the eye or even nearer. Indeed, Allāh is over all things competent.
