Masters and dignitaries were deceivers

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.

 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

 وَقَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَآ إِنَّآ أَطَعْنَا سَادَتَنَا وَكُبَرَآءَنَا فَأَضَلُّونَا ٱلسَّبِيلَا۠ 67  رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِهِمْ ضِعْفَيْنِ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ وَٱلْعَنْهُمْ لَعْنًا كَبِيرًا 68

                                       

67.  And they will say: Our Lord! Lo! we obeyed our chiefs and great men, and they misled us from the Way. 68.  Our Lord! Give them double torment and curse them with a mighty curse.

67.  Wa  qaaluu  Rabbanaaa  ‘innaaa  ‘ata’-naa  saadatanaa  wa  kubaraaa-‘anaa  fa-‘azalluunas-Sabiilaa. 68.  Rabbanaaa  ‘aatihim  zi’-fayni  minal-‘Azaabi  wal-‘anhum  La’-nan-  kabiiraa. (Section 8)

Commentary

Saadatun – (chiefs), this word is plural of sayyidun, origin of which is siyaadatun. Siyaadatun means “Power, Government, dominion, rule”.

It is commanded: Those who have been turning their faces away in the world from the prescribed Way of Allaah Almighty, they will be lying in the Fire and turning their sideways on the Day of Resurrection. And they will say there being afflicted: Our Lord, our masters and dignitaries misguided us during our worldly life. Their status was higher than us, so we had to follow them according to their orders. They have drowned our ship, misled and drove us from the Right Path. Our Lord: Give them double punishment. Deprive them entirely from Your Mercy and curse them with a great curse. Destroy them Today as they destroyed us in the world!

Those people should take a warning from this verse; who desire to come forward and become leaders of the Public willingly. Their all such deeds will be useless for them on the Judgment Day. If they have turned the people from Islam, then they should come to know clearly that what will happen with them.
