ٱلْأَنْعَام : ٢٠

  • ٱلَّذِينَ Those (to) whom
  • ءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمُ We have given them
  • ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ the Book
  • يَعۡرِفُونَهُۥ they recognize him
  • كَمَا as
  • يَعۡرِفُونَ they recognize
  • أَبۡنَآءَهُمُۘ their sons
  • ٱلَّذِينَ Those who
  • خَسِرُوٓاْ lost
  • أَنفُسَهُمۡ themselves
  • فَهُمۡ then they
  • لَا (do) not
  • يُؤۡمِنُونَ believe
Those to whom We have given the Scripture recognize it1 as they recognize their [own] sons. Those who will lose themselves [in the Hereafter] do not believe.
Footnotes
1 The Qur’ān. Also interpreted as "him," meaning Muḥammad (ﷺ).
Those to whom We have given the Scripture recognise him, that is, Muhammad may peace and salutation be upon him, by the descriptions of him in their Scripture, as they recognise their sons; those, of them, who have forfeited their own souls do not believe, in him.
