Quran 17:89 — Al-Israa, verse 89
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
In this Quran, We have set out all kinds of examples for people, yet most of them persist in disbelieving.
وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِي هَـٰذَا الْقُرْآنِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَثَلٍ فَأَبَىٰ أَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ إِلَّا كُفُورًا
walaqad ṣarrafnā lilnnāsi fī hādhā l-qur'āni min kulli mathalin fa-abā aktharu l-nāsi illā kufūran
