Surah Al-Baqarah — 2:11
Sign in to save
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ لَا تُفۡسِدُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّمَا نَحۡنُ مُصۡلِحُونَ
When they are told, “Do not spread corruption in the land,” they reply, “We are only peace-makers!”
Commentary
When they are told not to ruin things on earth – through their rejection of the truth, their disobedience and so on – they deny doing so, claiming that they only correct things and put them right.
