Surah Luqman, verse 21

Each word opens its meaning.

﴿٢١﴾

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

Without diacritics

واذا قيل لهم اتبعوا ما انزل الله قالوا بل نتبع ما وجدنا عليه اباءنا اولو كان الشيطان يدعوهم الى عذاب السعير

When they are told to follow The (Revelation) that God Has sent down, they say: "Nay, we shall follow The ways that we found Our fathers (following)." What! even if it is Satan beckoning them To the Penalty Of the (Blazing) Fire?
