Surah Al-Ahqaf — 46:11
Sign in to save
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَوۡ كَانَ خَيۡرٗا مَّا سَبَقُونَآ إِلَيۡهِۚ وَإِذۡ لَمۡ يَهۡتَدُواْ بِهِۦ فَسَيَقُولُونَ هَٰذَآ إِفۡكٞ قَدِيمٞ
The disbelievers say of the believers, “Had it been ˹something˺ good, they would not have beaten us to it.” Now since they reject its guidance, they will say, “˹This is˺ an ancient fabrication!”
Commentary
And those who denied the Qur’ān and what their Messenger brought to them say: “If what Muhammad brought was true and guides towards good, these paupers, servants and weak people would not have preceded us towards it”. And because they are not guided to what their Messenger brought them, they will say: “This which he has brought us is an old lie, and we do not follow lies”.
