English Translation
9(9-10) Do you see this man who hinders the one who calls people to Allah?
Explanatory translation
9O Muhammad, try to remember those who once obstructed the prophets who, like you, were messengers, for you too will face people who obstruct you in the same way. Have you seen the unjust and transgressing disbeliever who tries to deprive people who wish to live by their faith of this sacred right of theirs and to obstruct them? Suppose a person invites people to be servants of Allah, in keeping with the purpose of their creation: can the conduct of someone who tries to obstruct him be considered justified?
