| Asad | [By behaving thus,] he invokes, instead of God, something that can neither harm nor benefit him: [By failing to commit himself unreservedly to the faith which he professes, man is often inclined to attribute to all manner of extraneous forces, be they real or imaginary, a decisive "influence" on his own destiny, and thus invests them, as it were, with divine qualities.] [and] this is indeed the utmost one can go astray. [Lit., "this, this (dhalika huwa) is the straying far-away". For an explanation of my paraphrase, see note on the last sentence of 14:18.] |
