Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 79

Each word opens its meaning.

﴿٧٩﴾

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

Without diacritics

فويل للذين يكتبون الكتاب بايديهم ثم يقولون هذا من عند الله ليشتروا به ثمنا قليلا فويل لهم مما كتبت ايديهم وويل لهم مما يكسبون

Then woe to those who write The Book with their own hands, And then say: "This is from God," To traffic with it For a miserable price!— Woe to them for what their hands Do write, and for the gain They make thereby.
