The similitude of those who were charged with the (obligations of the) Mosaic Law, but who subsequently failed in those (obligations), is that of a donkey which carries huge tomes (but understands them not). Evil is the similitude of people who falsify the Signs of Allah: and Allah guides not people who do wrong.

Kendilerine Tevrat öğretildiği halde, onun gereğini yapmayanların durumu, sırtına kitap yüklenmiş merkebin durumu gibidir. Allah'ın ayetlerini yalanlayan kimselerin durumu ne kötüdür! Allah zalimleri doğru yola eriştirmez.
