62:5 - Al-Jumu'ah

Verse 5

مَثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ حُمِّلُواْ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةَ ثُمَّ لَمۡ يَحۡمِلُوهَا كَمَثَلِ ٱلۡحِمَارِ يَحۡمِلُ أَسۡفَارَۢاۚ بِئۡسَ مَثَلُ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِۚ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٥

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

The example of those who were entrusted with ˹observing˺ the Torah but failed to do so, is that of a donkey carrying books.¹ How evil is the example of those who reject Allah’s signs! For Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.
