And they prayed [to God] that the truth be made to triumph. And [thus it is:] every arrogant enemy of the truth shall be undone [in the life to come],

But they sought victory and decision (there and then), and frustration was the lot of every powerful obstinate transgressor.

And they sought help (from their Lord) and every froward potentate was bought to naught;

And they sought judgment, and every insolent opposer was disappointed:

And they requested victory from Allah , and disappointed, [therefore], was every obstinate tyrant.
