Surah Muhammad, verse 18

Each word opens its meaning.

﴿١٨﴾

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

Without diacritics

فهل ينظرون الا الساعة ان تاتيهم بغتة فقد جاء اشراطها فانى لهم اذا جاءتهم ذكراهم

Do they then only wait For the Hour,—that it Should come on them Of a sudden? But already Have come some tokens Thereof, and when it (Actually) is on them, How can they benefit Then by their admonition?
