Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
Indeed Allah does not, for the sake of explanation, shy to illustrate an example of anything, whether it is of a gnat or something further (inferior) than it; so the believers know it is the Truth from their Lord; as for the disbelievers, they say, "What does Allah intend by such an example?" He misleads many thereby, and He guides many thereby; and with it He misleads only those who are rebellious.
Yusuf Ali:
Allah disdains not to use the similitude of things, lowest as
well as highest. Those who believe know that it is truth from their Lord;
but those who reject Faith say: "What means Allah by this similitude?" By it
He causes many to stray, and many He leads into the right path; but He
causes not to stray, except those who forsake (the path),-
Pickthal:
Lo! Allah disdaineth not to coin the similitude even of a
gnat. Those who believe know that it is the truth from their Lord; but
those who disbelieve say: What doth Allah wish (to teach) by such a
similitude? He misleadeth many thereby, and He guideth many thereby; and He
misleadeth thereby only miscreants;
