Surah Al-Ahqaf · Ayah 26·Makkī

26

وَلَقَدْ فِيمَآ إِن فِيهِ لَهُمْ فَمَآ عَنْهُمْ وَلَآ وَلَآ مِّن إِذْ بِهِم مَّا بِهِۦ ﴿٢٦﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

And We had certainly established them in such as We have not established you, and We made for them hearing and vision and hearts. But their hearing and vision and hearts availed them not from anything [of the punishment] when they were [continually] rejecting the signs of Allah; and they were enveloped by what they used to ridicule.
