ٱلزُّخْرُف : ٢٢

  • بَلۡ Nay
  • قَالُوٓاْ they say
  • إِنَّا Indeed we
  • وَجَدۡنَآ [we] found
  • ءَابَآءَنَا our forefathers
  • عَلَىٰٓ upon
  • أُمَّةٖ a religion
  • وَإِنَّا and indeed we
  • عَلَىٰٓ on
  • ءَاثَٰرِهِم their footsteps
  • مُّهۡتَدُونَ (are) guided
Rather, they say, "Indeed, we found our fathers upon a religion, and we are in their footsteps [rightly] guided."
Nay, but they say, 'Lo! we found our fathers following a [certain] creed and we are indeed, proceeding, in their footsteps to be guided', by them, for they used to worship other than God.
