Quran 39:37 — Az-Zumar, verse 37
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
if God guides someone no one can lead him astray. Is God not mighty and capable of retribution?
وَمَنْ يَهْدِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ مُضِلٍّ ۗ أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِعَزِيزٍ ذِي انْتِقَامٍ
waman yahdi l-lahu famā lahu min muḍillin alaysa l-lahu biʿazīzin dhī intiqāmin
