The Holy Quran 6:77 — Surah Al-An'am

Arabic text

فَلَمَّا رَءَا ٱلْقَمَرَ بَازِغًا قَالَ هَـٰذَا رَبِّى ۖ فَلَمَّآ أَفَلَ قَالَ لَئِن لَّمْ يَهْدِنِى رَبِّى لَأَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

Translation

When he saw the moon shining, he said, “Can this be my Rabb?" But when it set, he said (to the people), "If my Rabb does not guide me I shall surely become of those who have gone astray." (By saying this, he indicated to the people that they were astray and in need of guidance.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
