Surah Al-A'raf Ayah 89

Al-A'raf · Ayah 89 · Juz 9 · Page 162

قَدِ ٱفۡتَرَيۡنَا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا إِنۡ عُدۡنَا فِي مِلَّتِكُم بَعۡدَ إِذۡ نَجَّىٰنَا ٱللَّهُ مِنۡهَاۚ وَمَا يَكُونُ لَنَآ أَن نَّعُودَ فِيهَآ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّنَاۚ وَسِعَ رَبُّنَا كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ عِلۡمًاۚ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ تَوَكَّلۡنَاۚ رَبَّنَا ٱفۡتَحۡ بَيۡنَنَا وَبَيۡنَ قَوۡمِنَا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَأَنتَ خَيۡرُ ٱلۡفَٰتِحِينَ ٨٩

Qadiftaraynā ʿalallāhi kadhiban in ʿudnā fī millatikum baʿda idh najjānallāhu minhā, wa mā yakūnu lanā an naʿūda fīhā illā ay yashāʾallāhu rabbunā, wasiʿa rabbunā kulla shayʾin ʿilmā, ʿalallāhi tawakkalnā, rabbanaftaḥ baynanā wa bayna qawminā bil-ḥaqqi wa anta khayrul-fātiḥīn.

We would have invented against Allāh a lie if we returned to your religion after Allāh had saved us from it. And it is not for us to return to it except that Allāh, our Lord, should will. Our Lord has encompassed all things in knowledge. Upon Allāh we have relied. Our Lord, decide between us and our people in truth, and You are the best of those who give decision."
