Surah An-Nahl

وَضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلًا رَّجُلَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَآ أَبْكَمُ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَىٰ شَىْءٍ وَهُوَ كَلٌّ عَلَىٰ مَوْلَىٰهُ أَيْنَمَا يُوَجِّههُّ لَا يَأْتِ بِخَيْرٍ ۖ هَلْ يَسْتَوِى هُوَ وَمَن يَأْمُرُ بِٱلْعَدْلِ ۙ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ

Wa ḍaraballāhu maṡalar rajulaini aḥaduhumā abkamu lā yaqdiru ‘alā syai'iw wa huwa kallun ‘alā maulāh(u), ainamā yuwajjihhu lā ya'ti bikhair(in), hal yastawī huw(a), wa may ya'muru bil-‘adli wa huwa ‘alā ṣirāṭim mustaqīm(in).

And Allah presents an example of two men, one of them dumb and unable to do a thing, while he is a burden to his guardian. Wherever he directs him, he brings no good. Is he equal to one who commands justice, while he is on a straight path?
