Surah Al-Mu'minun Ayah 71

Al-Mu'minun · Ayah 71 · Juz 18 · Page 346

وَلَوِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلۡحَقُّ أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ لَفَسَدَتِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّۚ بَلۡ أَتَيۡنَٰهُم بِذِكۡرِهِمۡ فَهُمۡ عَن ذِكۡرِهِم مُّعۡرِضُونَ ٧١

Wa lawittabaʿal-ḥaqqu ahwāʾahum lafasadatis-samāwātu wal-arḍu wa man fīhinn, bal ataynāhum bidhikrihim fahum ʿan dhikrihim muʿriḍūn.

But if the Truth [i.e., Allāh] had followed their inclinations, the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them would have been ruined. Rather, We have brought them their message,1 but they, from their message, are turning away.
