أَفَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ رِضْوَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ كَمَنۢ بَآءَ بِسَخَطٍ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَمَأْوَىٰهُ جَهَنَّمُ ۚ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ ﴿162﴾
Is then one who follows (seeks) the good Pleasure of Allâh (by not taking illegally a part of the booty) like the one who draws on himself the Wrath of Allâh (by taking a part of the booty illegally - Ghulul)? - his abode is Hell, and worst, indeed is that destination!
أَفَمَنِ afamani So is (the one) who
ٱتَّبَعَ ittabaʿa pursues
رِضْوَٰنَ riḍ'wāna (the) pleasure
ٱللَّهِ l-lahi (of) Allah
كَمَنۢ kaman like (the one) who
بَآءَ bāa draws
بِسَخَطٍۢ bisakhaṭin on (himself) wrath
مِّنَ mina of
ٱللَّهِ l-lahi Allah
وَمَأْوَىٰهُ wamawāhu and his abode
جَهَنَّمُ ۚ jahannamu (is) hell
وَبِئْسَ wabi'sa and wretched
ٱلْمَصِيرُ l-maṣīru (is) the destination
