يُلْقُونَ السَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَاذِبُونَ ٢٢٣
(Into whose ears) they pour hearsay vanities, and most of them are liars.
26:224
وَالشُّعَرَاءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ الْغَاوُونَ ٢٢٤
And the Poets,- It is those straying in Evil, who follow them:
26:225
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِي كُلِّ وَادٍ يَهِيمُونَ ٢٢٥
Seest thou not that they wander distracted in every valley?-
26:226
وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ ٢٢٦
And that they say what they practise not?-
26:227
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَانْتَصَرُوا مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا ۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنْقَلَبٍ يَنْقَلِبُونَ ٢٢٧
Except those who believe, work righteousness, engage much in the remembrance of Allah, and defend themselves only after they are unjustly attacked. And soon will the unjust assailants know what vicissitudes their affairs will take!
