Transliteration
mai yahdil laahu fa huwal muhtadee wa mai yudlil fa ulaaa'ika humul khaasiroon
Translation
Whoever Allah guides - he is the [rightly] guided; and whoever He sends astray - it is those who are the losers.
Verse interpretation (Tafsir)
Whoever Allah allows to be guided to the right path is truly guided, because they chose the path of their Lord; and whoever Allah does not lead to His path, sending them away from it because of their deviation and bad actions, those are the true losers, who lose themselves and their families on the Day of Judgment – is that not complete loss?
