Surah Ar-Ra'd, verse 33

Each word opens its meaning.

﴿٣٣﴾

Tap a word for its meaning and pronunciation, then open its page.

Without diacritics

افمن هو قائم على كل نفس بما كسبت وجعلوا لله شركاء قل سموهم ام تنبئونه بما لا يعلم في الارض ام بظاهر من القول بل زين للذين كفروا مكرهم وصدوا عن السبيل ومن يضلل الله فما له من هاد

Is then He Who standeth Over every soul (and knoweth) All that it doth, (Like any others)? And yet They ascribe partners to God. Say: "But name them! Is it that ye will Inform Him of something He knoweth not on earth, Or is it (just) a show Of words?" Nay! to those Who believe not, their pretence seems pleasing, but they are Kept back (thereby) from the Path. And those whom God leaves To stray, no one can guide.
