وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ رَبِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن جَآءَ بِٱلْهُدَىٰ مِنْ عِندِهِۦ وَمَن تَكُونُ لَهُۥ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلدَّارِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ
Waq a la moos a rabbee aAAlamu biman j a a bi a lhud a min AAindihi waman takoonu lahu AA a qibatu a l dd a ri innahu l a yufli h u a l thth a limoon a
And Moses replied: "My Sustainer knows best as to who comes with guidance from Him, and to whom the future belongs!35 Verily, never will evil-doers attain to a happy state!"
  - Mohammad Asad

For an explanation of the above phrase, see surah {6}, note [118].

Musa stated: "My Rabb knows best who it is that comes with guidance from Him and who will gain the reward of the hereafter; surely the wrongdoers will not attain felicity."
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Moses responded, 'My Lord knows best who has come with 'true' guidance from Him and will fare best in the end. Indeed, the wrongdoers will never succeed.'
  - Mustafa Khattab
And Moses said: My Lord is best aware of him who bringeth guidance from His presence, and whose will be the sequel of the Home (of bliss). Lo! wrong-doers will not be successful.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Moses said: "My Lord knows best who it is that comes with guidance from Him and whose End will be best in the Hereafter: certain it is that the wrongdoers will not prosper." 3369
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Cf. vi. 135. The only argument in such a case is an appeal to Allah, and to the ultimate Future. Both of these appeals require Faith. But even if you do not rely on anything so high, you can see that Falsehood or evils crystallised in ancestral customs are not going to do any one any good.
