Surah As-Saffat — Ayah 28 (37:28)

English translation (Saheeh International)

They will say, "Indeed, you used to come at us from the right."¹

1. - i.e., from our position of strength, oppressing us. Or from where we would have grasped the truth, preventing us.

Brief commentary

The followers will say to the leaders, “O our seniors! You use to approach us in matters of religion and truth, and would beautify for us disbelief, ascribing partners with Allah and sins, while scaring us away from the truth that the messengers brought from Allah.”
