Sura 31 Luqman, ayah 21

  1. وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ اتَّبِعُوا مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ قَالُوا بَلْ نَتَّبِعُ مَا وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ آبَاءَنَا ۚ أَوَلَوْ كَانَ الشَّيْطَانُ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ عَذَابِ السَّعِيرِ

    Translation by words

    وَإِذَا
    And when
    قِيلَ
    it is said
    لَهُمُ
    to them,
    ٱتَّبِعُوا۟
    "Follow
    مَآ
    what
    أَنزَلَ
    Allah (has) revealed,"
    ٱللَّهُ
    Allah (has) revealed,"
    قَالُوا۟
    they say,
    بَلْ
    "Nay,
    نَتَّبِعُ
    we will follow
    مَا
    what
    وَجَدْنَا
    we found
    عَلَيْهِ
    on it
    ءَابَآءَنَآ
    our forefathers."
    أَوَلَوْ
    Even if
    كَانَ
    Shaitaan was
    ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ
    Shaitaan was
    يَدْعُوهُمْ
    (to) call them
    إِلَىٰ
    to
    عَذَابِ
    (the) punishment
    ٱلسَّعِيرِ
    (of) the Blaze!

    And when it is said to them, "Follow what Allah has revealed," they say, "Rather, we will follow that upon which we found our fathers." Even if Satan was inviting them to the punishment of the Blaze?
