Surah Al-A'raf, verse 20

Each word opens its meaning.

﴿٢٠﴾

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

Without diacritics

فوسوس لهما الشيطان ليبدي لهما ما ووري عنهما من سواتهما وقال ما نهاكما ربكما عن هذه الشجرة الا ان تكونا ملكين او تكونا من الخالدين

Then began Satan to whisper Suggestions to them, bringing Openly before their minds All their shame That was hidden from them (Before): he said: "Your Lord Only forbade you this tree, Lest ye should become angels Or such beings as live for ever."
