˹Then they will be asked,˺ “What is the matter with you that you can no longer help each other?”
37:25
In fact, on that Day they will be ˹fully˺ submissive.
37:26
They will turn on each other, throwing blame.
37:27
The misled will say, “It was you who deluded us away from what is right.”1
37:28
The misleaders will reply, “No! You disbelieved on your own.
37:29
