ٱلنَّجْم : ٢٨

  • وَمَا And not
  • لَهُم for them
  • بِهِۦ about it
  • مِنۡ any
  • عِلۡمٍۖ knowledge
  • إِن Not
  • يَتَّبِعُونَ they follow
  • إِلَّا but
  • ٱلظَّنَّۖ assumption
  • وَإِنَّ And indeed
  • ٱلظَّنَّ the assumption
  • لَا (does) not
  • يُغۡنِي avail
  • مِنَ against
  • ٱلۡحَقِّ the truth
  • شَيۡـٔٗا anything
And they have thereof no knowledge. They follow not except assumption, and indeed, assumption avails not against the truth at all.
But they do not have any knowledge thereof, of this claim. They follow, in this [respect], nothing but conjecture, which they have conjured up, and indeed conjecture can never substitute for the truth, that is to say, when it comes to acquiring knowledge of that which one is required to have knowledge of.
