لُقْمَان : ٢١

  • وَإِذَا And when
  • قِيلَ it is said
  • لَهُمُ to them
  • ٱتَّبِعُواْ Follow
  • مَآ what
  • أَنزَلَ Allah (has) revealed
  • ٱللَّهُ Allah (has) revealed
  • قَالُواْ they say
  • بَلۡ Nay
  • نَتَّبِعُ we will follow
  • مَا what
  • وَجَدۡنَا we found
  • عَلَيۡهِ on it
  • ءَابَآءَنَآۚ our forefathers
  • أَوَلَوۡ Even if
  • كَانَ Shaitaan was
  • ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ Shaitaan was
  • يَدۡعُوهُمۡ (to) call them
  • إِلَىٰ to
  • عَذَابِ (the) punishment
  • ٱلسَّعِيرِ (of) the Blaze
And when it is said to them, "Follow what Allāh has revealed," they say, "Rather, we will follow that upon which we found our fathers." Even if Satan was inviting them to the punishment of the Blaze?
And if it is said to them: 'Follow what God has revealed', they say, 'We will rather follow what we found our fathers following'. He, exalted be He, says: What! Would they follow such [things], even though Satan were calling them to the chastisement of the Blaze?, that is, to what will bring it about necessarily? No!
