Where should there be punctuations in this sentence?
This sentence is a bit long so I'm confused as to where to punctuate in this sentence.
"As for Nazir, it means the one who informs that following a different way after the true path is shown ends up in frustration."
Nazir is just an Arabic name, this sentence gives a definition for it but it sorely lacks punctuation. I just couldn't figure out where to put commas, so any help is appreciated.

I can read it, but the nested and jumbled phrases are confusing. It needs no punctuation, unless you are telling us the literal meaning of an Arabic name, in which case quotation marks around the definition would be in order: "As for Nazir, it means 'the one who informs that following a different way after the true path is shown ends up in frustration'."

Thanks enoon, that is exactly it. It is the literal meaning of an Arabic name but I received an already translated text and I'm proofreading it but unfortunately everything is jumbled.
