وَضَرَبَ اللّٰهُ مَثَلًا رَجُلَيْنِ اَحَدُهُمَٓا اَبْكَمُ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلٰى شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ كَلٌّ عَلٰى مَوْلٰيهُۙ اَيْنَمَا يُوَجِّهْهُ لَا يَاْتِ بِخَيْرٍۜ هَلْ يَسْتَو۪ي هُوَۙ وَمَنْ يَاْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِۙ وَهُوَ عَلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَق۪يمٍ۟ ٧٦

English Translation
76Allah also gives the example of these two men: One of them is mute, has power over nothing, and is moreover a burden to his master; whatever task his master sends him on, he can accomplish nothing. Can he be equal to one who commands what is right and just and is on a straight path?
