ٱلْإِسْرَاء : ٤٥

  • وَإِذَا And when
  • قَرَأۡتَ you recite
  • ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ the Quran
  • جَعَلۡنَا We place
  • بَيۡنَكَ between you
  • وَبَيۡنَ and between
  • ٱلَّذِينَ those who
  • لَا (do) not
  • يُؤۡمِنُونَ believe
  • بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ in the Hereafter
  • حِجَابٗا a barrier
  • مَّسۡتُورٗا hidden
And when you recite the Qur’ān, We put between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter a concealed partition.1

And when you recite Al-Qur'an, We place between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter a hidden barrier, that is, one that hides you from them, so that they cannot see you - this was revealed regarding those who wanted to assassinate him may peace and salutation be upon him [the Prophet].
