Surah Al-An'am, verse 121

Each word opens its meaning.

﴿١٢١﴾

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

Without diacritics

ولا تاكلوا مما لم يذكر اسم الله عليه وانه لفسق وان الشياطين ليوحون الى اوليائهم ليجادلوكم وان اطعتموهم انكم لمشركون

Eat not of (meats) On which God's name Hath not been pronounced: That would be impiety. But the evil ones Ever inspire their friends To contend with you If ye were to obey them, Ye would indeed be Pagans.
