Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 120

Each word opens its meaning.

﴿١٢٠﴾

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

Without diacritics

ولن ترضى عنك اليهود ولا النصارى حتى تتبع ملتهم قل ان هدى الله هو الهدى ولئن اتبعت اهواءهم بعد الذي جاءك من العلم ما لك من الله من ولي ولا نصير

Never will the Jews Or the Christians be satisfied With thee unless thou follow Their form of religion. Say: "The Guidance of God,—that Is the (only) Guidance." Wert thou to follow their desires After the knowledge Which hath reached thee, Then wouldst thou find Neither Protector nor Helper Against God.
