Surah 26. Ash-Shu'araa, Ayah 222
| تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ |
| Asad | : | They descend upon all sinful self-deceivers97 |
| Malik | : | They descend on every slandering sinner. |
| Pickthall | : | They descend on every sinful, false one. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | They descend on every lying wicked person |
| Transliteration | : | Tanazzalu AAala kulli affakin atheemin |
Note - 97The term affak, which literally denotes "a great [or
"habitual"] liar", has here the meaning of "one who lies
to himself": this is brought out in the next verse, which
stresses the psychological fact that most of such
self-deceivers readily lie to others as well.
