The Cow · Medinan

مَثَلُهُمۡ كَمَثَلِ ٱلَّذِي ٱسۡتَوۡقَدَ نَارٗا فَلَمَّآ أَضَآءَتۡ مَا حَوۡلَهُۥ ذَهَبَ ٱللَّهُ بِنُورِهِمۡ وَتَرَكَهُمۡ فِي ظُلُمَٰتٖ لَّا يُبۡصِرُونَ

Arabic (Uthmani Script)

Their example is that of one who kindled a fire, but when it illuminated what was around him, Allah took away their light and left them in darkness [so] they could not see

Script Comparison

Compare Arabic readings — Uthmani, Warsh, Simple (Imla'i)

Note: Verse numbering varies between qira'at (reading traditions). In Warsh, the Basmalah is not counted as a verse — so verse numbers are offset by 1 from Hafs (Uthmani) in surahs where Basmalah is the first verse. Gold-underlined words differ from the Uthmani baseline. Enable Align by content to show the corresponding text regardless of verse number.
