Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 145

Each word opens its meaning.

﴿١٤٥﴾

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

Without diacritics

ولئن اتيت الذين اوتوا الكتاب بكل اية ما تبعوا قبلتك وما انت بتابع قبلتهم وما بعضهم بتابع قبلة بعض ولئن اتبعت اهواءهم من بعد ما جاءك من العلم انك اذا لمن الظالمين

Even if thou wert to bring To the people of the Book All the Signs (together), They would not follow Thy Qibla; nor art thou Going to follow their Qibla; Nor indeed will they follow Each other's Qibla. If thou After the knowledge hath reached thee, Wert to follow their (vain) Desires,—then wert thou Indeed (clearly) in the wrong.
