ضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلذِّلَّةُ أَيْنَ مَا ثُقِفُوٓا۟ إِلَّا بِحَبْلٍۢ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَحَبْلٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَبَآءُو بِغَضَبٍۢ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْمَسْكَنَةُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ يَكْفُرُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَقْتُلُونَ ٱلْأَنۢبِيَآءَ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّۢ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوا۟ وَّكَانُوا۟ يَعْتَدُونَ
How to read it
Ḍuribat' ʻalay'himu dhdhillatu 'ay'na mā thuqifū 'illā biḥab'lin mmina -llahi waḥab'lin mmina nnāssi wabā'ū bighaḍabin mmina -llahi waḍuribat' ʻalay'himu l-mas'kanatu . dhālika bi'annahum' kānū yak'furūna bi'āyāti -llahi wayaq'tulūna l-'an[m]biyā'a bighay'ri ḥaqqin . dhālika bimā ʻaṣaw wwakānū yaʻ'tadūna
Shame is pitched over them (Like a tent) wherever they are found, except when under a covenant (of protection) from Allah and from men; they draw on themselves wrath from Allah, and pitched over them is (the tent of) destitution. This because they rejected the Signs of Allah, and slew the prophets in defiance of right; this because they rebelled and transgressed beyond bounds.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali
