Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 171

Each word opens its meaning.

﴿١٧١﴾

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

Without diacritics

ومثل الذين كفروا كمثل الذي ينعق بما لا يسمع الا دعاء ونداء صم بكم عمي فهم لا يعقلون

The parable of those Who reject Faith is As if one were to shout Like a goat-herd, to things That listen to nothing But calls and cries: Deaf, dumb, and blind, They are void of wisdom.
