Quran 25:50 — Al-Furqaan, verse 50
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
Many times We have repeated this to people so that they might take heed, but most persist in their ingratitude.
وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَاهُ بَيْنَهُمْ لِيَذَّكَّرُوا فَأَبَىٰ أَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ إِلَّا كُفُورًا
walaqad ṣarrafnāhu baynahum liyadhakkarū fa-abā aktharu l-nāsi illā kufūran
