غَافِر : ٨٤

  • فَلَمَّا So when
  • رَأَوۡاْ they saw
  • بَأۡسَنَا Our punishment
  • قَالُوٓاْ they said
  • ءَامَنَّا We believe
  • بِٱللَّهِ in Allah
  • وَحۡدَهُۥ Alone
  • وَكَفَرۡنَا and we disbelieve
  • بِمَا in what
  • كُنَّا we used (to)
  • بِهِۦ with Him
  • مُشۡرِكِينَ associate
And when they saw Our punishment, they said, "We believe in Allāh alone and disbelieve in that which we used to associate with Him."
Then, when they ﷺ Our doom, that is, the severity of Our chastisement, they said, 'We believe in God alone, and we disavow what we used to associate with Him'.
