Verse 45

ٱلَّذِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَبۡغُونَهَا عِوَجٗا وَهُم بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ كَٰفِرُونَ

Umar said, “O Allah’s Messenger! Do you address a people who have become rotten carrion?” He said,

«By He in Whose Hand is my soul! You do not hear what I am saying better than they do, but they cannot reply.»

Allah’s statement,

{Then a crier will proclaim between them} will herald and announce,

{The curse of Allah is on the wrongdoers} meaning, the curse will
