The likeness of those who were entrusted with the ( obligation of the ) Taurat ( Torah ) ( i.e. to obey its commandments and to practise its legal laws ) , but who subsequently failed in those ( obligations ) , is as the likeness of a donkey who carries huge burdens of books ( but understands nothing from them ) . How bad is the example ( or the likeness ) of people who deny the Ayat ( proofs , evidences , verses , signs , revelations , etc . ) of Allah .
