Surah Al-A'raf — 7:45

ٱلَّذِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًا وَهُم بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ كَـٰفِرُونَ

Allazeena yasuddoona 'an sabeelil laahi wa yabghoo nahaa 'iwajanw wa hum bil Aakhirati kaafiroon

- nad tymi, którzy odwracają od drogi Boga, którzy chcą uczynić ją krzywą i którzy nie wierzą w życie ostateczne!"

those who turn others from the path of God and seek to make it crooked, and who deny the hereafter.

Reflection

The curse announced by the herald a line earlier is given its content here, and every item in it concerns someone else's road. The same charge appears earlier in this surah at 7:86, put to Shu'ayb's people while they were alive and sitting on the highways to turn travellers back, so what is read out over the condemned had once been a warning someone could still act on.
