Sura 5
Aya 79
79
كانوا لا يَتَناهَونَ عَن مُنكَرٍ فَعَلوهُ ۚ لَبِئسَ ما كانوا يَفعَلونَ

Yusuf Ali

  • There are men in every community, but if leaders connive at the misdeeds of the commonalty -and even worse, if leaders themselves share in the misdeeds, as happened with the Pharisees and Scribes against whom Jesus spoke out, then that community is doomed.
