The Bee - Chapter 16, Verses 75-76, Holy Koran

Allah has here set forth an allegory, just consider
A slave the property of another
Therefore he has no power 
On the contrary
One who is granted a handsome sustenance so he
Spends from it secretly and openly -
Are the two similar?
Praise is due to Allah 
But most of the people are not aware.
 
And Allah has set forth anther allegory, now consider
Two persons, one of them is dumb 
Unable to do anything on his own 
Thus he is a burden to his master
Wherever he is sent he brings no good outcome
Can he be held equal with him, who
Has enjoined what is just 
And is also on the straight avenue.
