Surah Ash-Shuraa, verse 14

Each word opens its meaning.

﴿١٤﴾

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

Without diacritics

وما تفرقوا الا من بعد ما جاءهم العلم بغيا بينهم ولولا كلمة سبقت من ربك الى اجل مسمى لقضي بينهم وان الذين اورثوا الكتاب من بعدهم لفي شك منه مريب

And they became divided Only after knowledge Reached them,—through selfish Envy as between themselves. Had it not been For a Word that Went forth before From thy Lord, (Tending) to a Term appointed, The matter would have Been settled between them: But truly those who have Inherited the Book after them Are in suspicious (disquieting) Doubt concerning it.
