فَأَغْوَيْنَٰكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ
The leaders of disbelief will say to their followers: 'You yourselves chose to follow us, and since we ourselves had gone astray, you could expect nothing better from us.' It was a case of blind leading the blind.
Commentary:
In vv. 30, 31 above the leaders of disbelief had refused to plead guilty to the charge that they had led their followers astray by saying that they had no power or authority over them; in the verse under comment they plead guilty to the charge of misleading them. The seeming contradiction is, in reality, no contradiction. The verse means to say that leaders of disbelief will say to their followers: "You yourselves chose to follow us, and since we ourselves had gone astray, you could expect nothing better from us. It was a case of blind leading the blind."
