Sura 28
Aya 17
17
قالَ رَبِّ بِما أَنعَمتَ عَلَيَّ فَلَن أَكونَ ظَهيرًا لِلمُجرِمينَ

Yusuf Ali

He said: “O my Lord! For that Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace on me, never shall I be a help to those who sin!”1
  • He takes a conscious and solemn vow to dedicate himself to God, and to do nothing that may in any way assist those who were doing wrong. This was his general idea, but no plan had yet shaped itself in his mind, until a second catastrophe brought matters to a head, and he was plunged in adventure.
