16
we ask Him to guide us to the straight path, the path of those He has blessed, who are distinct from those who have incurred His anger and those who have gone astray. Yet these people condemn the straight path and praise the way of those lost in error and bewilderment, in opposition to Allah’s Books and messengers and to the innate reason and understanding with which Allah has endowed His servants.
نَسْأَلَهُ هِدَايَةَ الصِّرَاطِ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ صِرَاطِ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ الْمُغَايِرِينَ لِلْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلِلضَّالِّينَ. وَهَؤُلَاءِ يَذُمُّونَ الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ وَيَمْدَحُونَ طَرِيقَ أَهْلِ الضَّلَالِ وَالْحَيْرَةِ مُخَالَفَةً لِكُتُبِ اللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَلَمَّا فَطَرَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ عِبَادَهُ مِنْ الْعُقُولِ وَالْأَلْبَابِ.
