يقال: تبعه واتبعه: قفا أثره، وذلك تارة بالجسم، وتارة بالارتسام والائتمار، وعلى ذلك
الإتباع: اقتفاء الأثر. يقال: تبعه واتبعه؛ فتارة يكون بالجسم نحو تبعته في الطريق واتبعته فيها، وتارة بالامتثال. وعلى ذلك ﴿فمن اتبع هداي﴾ [طه: 123] وفي موضع ﴿فمن تبع هداي﴾ [البقرة: 38] ويقال: ﴿تعبه وأتبعه بمعنى لحقه وألحقه، وعليه﴾ فأتبعه شهاب ثاقب ﴿[الصافات: 10]﴾ فأتبعه الشيطان ﴿[الأعراف: 175]﴾ فأتبعهم فرعون بجنوده [طه:…
Verses 1–20 of 123
They followed what the evil ones Gave out (falsely) Against the power Of Solomon: the blasphemers Were, not Solomon, but The evil ones, teaching men Magic, and such things As came down at Babylon To the angels Hārūt and Mārūt. But neither of these taught anyone (Such things) without saying: "We are only for trial; So do not blaspheme." They learned from them The means to sow discord Between man and wife. But they could not thus Harm anyone except By God's permission. And they learned what harmed them, Not what profited them. And they knew that the buyers Of (magic) would have No share in the happiness Of the Hereafter. And vile Was the price for which They did sell their souls, If they but knew!
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:102Never will the Jews Or the Christians be satisfied With thee unless thou follow Their form of religion. Say: "The Guidance of God,—that Is the (only) Guidance." Wert thou to follow their desires After the knowledge Which hath reached thee, Then wouldst thou find Neither Protector nor Helper Against God.
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:120Thus have We made of you An Ummat justly balanced, That ye might be witnesses Over the nations, And the Apostle a witness Over yourselves; And We appointed the Qibla To which thou wast used, Only to test those who followed The Apostle from those Who would turn on their heels (From the Faith). Indeed it was (A change) momentous, except To those guided by God. And never would God Make your faith of no effect. For God is to all people Most surely full of kindness, Most Merciful.
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:143Even if thou wert to bring To the people of the Book All the Signs (together), They would not follow Thy Qibla; nor art thou Going to follow their Qibla; Nor indeed will they follow Each other's Qibla. If thou After the knowledge hath reached thee, Wert to follow their (vain) Desires,—then wert thou Indeed (clearly) in the wrong.
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:145Then would those Who are followed Clear themselves of those Who follow (them): They would see the Penalty, And all relations Between them would be cut off.
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:166And those who followed Would say: "If only We had one more chance, We would clear ourselves Of them, as they have Cleared themselves of us." Thus will God show them (The fruits of) their deeds As (nothing but) regrets. Nor will there be a way For them out of the Fire.

Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:208He it is Who has sent down To thee the Book: In it are verses Basic or fundamental (Of established meaning); They are the foundation Of the Book: others Are allegorical. But those In whose hearts is perversity follow The part thereof that is allegorical, Seeking discord, and searching For its hidden meanings, But ṭo one knows Its hidden meanings except God. And those who are firmly grounded In knowledge say: "We believe In the Book; the whole of it Is from our Lord:" and none Will grasp the Message Except men of understanding.
Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 3:7So if they dispute with thee, Say: "I have submitted My whole self to God And so have those Who follow me." And say to the People of the Book And to those who are unlearned: "Do ye (also) submit yourselves?" If they do, they are in right guidance, But if they turn back, Thy duty is to convey the Message; And in God's sight Are (all) His servants.

Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 3:95Is the man who follows The good pleasure of God Like the man who draws On himself the wrath Of God, and whose abode Is in Hell?— A woeful refuge!

They said: "Had we known How to fight, we should Certainly have followed you." They were that day Nearer to Unbelief Than to Faith, Saying with their lips What was not in their hearts. But God hath full knowledge Of all they conceal.
Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 3:167And they returned With Grace and Bounty From God: no harm Ever touched them: For they followed The good pleasure of God: And God is the Lord Of bounties unbounded.
Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 3:174God doth wish To turn to you, But the wish of those Who follow their lusts Is that ye should turn Away (from Him), Far, far away.
