Quran 4:82 — An-Nisaa, verse 82
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
Will they not think about this Quran? If it had been from anyone other than God, they would have found much inconsistency in it.
أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْآنَ ۚ وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِنْدِ غَيْرِ اللَّهِ لَوَجَدُوا فِيهِ اخْتِلَافًا كَثِيرًا
afalā yatadabbarūna l-qur'āna walaw kāna min ʿindi ghayri l-lahi lawajadū fīhi ikh'tilāfan kathīran
