Translation 1260

Translation 1260

Translation 1260

Translation 1260

God said, ‘Get out of the garden as each other’s enemy.’ Whoever follows My guidance, when it comes to you [people], will not go astray nor fall into misery

Translation 1260

and he will say, ‘Lord, why did You bring me here blind? I was sighted before!’
