وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى مُوسَى أَنْ أَلْقِ عَصَاكَ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ
Wa 'Awĥaynā 'Ilá Mūsá 'An 'Alqi `Aşāka Fa'idhā Hiya Talqafu Mā Ya'fikūna
And We inspired Moses: "Throw down your staff;" and it swallowed what they invented.
26:45
فَأَلْقَى مُوسَى عَصَاه ُُ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ
Fa'alqá Mūsá `Aşāhu Fa'idhā Hiya Talqafu Mā Ya'fikūna
So Moses cast down his staff, then it was eating-up all that they showed!
46:22
قَالُوا أَجِئْتَنَا لِتَأْفِكَنَا عَنْ آلِهَتِنَا فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَا إِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ

مَا الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ إِلاَّ رَسُول ٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ وَأُمُّه ُُ صِدِّيقَة ٌ كَانَا يَأْكُلاَنِ الطَّعَامَ انظُرْ كَيْفَ نُبَيِّنُ لَهُمُ الآيَاتِ ثُمَّ انظُرْ أَنَّى يُؤْفَكُونَ

The Messiah, son of Mary, is no more than a messenger; like whom messengers have passed away; and his mother was trustworthy, they used to eat the food. See how We clarify the signs for them, then see how they deviate.
6:95
إِنَّ اللَّهَ فَالِقُ الْحَبِّ وَالنَّوَى يُخْرِجُ الْحَيَّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ وَمُخْرِجُ الْمَيِّتِ مِنَ الْحَيِّ ذَلِكُمُ اللَّهُ فَأَنَّى تُؤْفَكُونَ
'Inna Allāha Fāliqu Al-Ĥabbi Wa An-Nawá Yukhriju Al-Ĥayya Mina Al-Mayyiti Wa Mukhriju Al-Mayyiti Mina Al-Ĥayyi Dhalikumu Allāhu Fa'anná Tu'ufakūna
God is the splitter of the seeds and the grains; He brings the living out from the dead and He brings the dead out from the living. Such is God; so why are you deluded?
9:30
وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ عُزَيْر ٌ ابْنُ اللَّهِ وَقَالَتِ النَّصَارَى الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ اللَّهِ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُمْ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ يُضَاهِئُونَ قَوْلَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ قَبْلُ قَاتَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ أَنَّى يُؤْفَكُونَ
Wa Qālati Al-Yahūdu `Uzayrun Abnu Allāhi Wa Qālati An-Naşārá Al-Masīĥu Abnu Allāhi Dhālika Qawluhum Bi'afwāhihim YuĐāhi'ūna Qawla Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Min Qablu Qātalahumu Allāhu 'Anná Yu'ufakūna
The Jews said: "Ezra is the son of God," and the Nazarenes said: "The Messiah is the son of God." Such is their utterances with their mouths, they imitate the sayings of those who rejected before them. God will fight them. They are deluded from the truth!
10:34
قُلْ هَلْ مِنْ شُرَكَائِكُمْ مَنْ يَبْدَأُ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُه ُُ قُلِ اللَّهُ يَبْدَأُ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُه ُُ فَأَنَّى تُؤْفَكُونَ
Qul Hal Min Shurakā'ikum Man Yabda'u Al-Khalqa Thumma Yu`īduhu Quli Allāhu Yabda'u Al-Khalqa Thumma Yu`īduhu Fa'anná Tu'ufakūna
Say: "Are there any from those whom you have set up as partners who can initiate the creation and then return it?" Say: "God initiates the creation and then returns it." How are you deluded!
29:61
وَلَئِنْ سَأَلْتَهُمْ مَنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّهُ فَأَنَّا يُؤْفَكُونَ
Wa La'in Sa'altahum Man Khalaqa As-Samāwāti Wa Al-'ArĐa Wa Sakhkhara Ash-Shamsa Wa Al-Qamara Layaqūlunna Allāhu Fa'annā Yu'ufakūna
And if you ask them: "Who has created the heavens and the earth, and put the sun and the moon in motion?" They will say: "God." Why then did they deviate?
30:55
وَيَوْمَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ يُقْسِمُ الْمُجْرِمُونَ مَا لَبِثُوا غَيْرَ سَاعَة ٍ كَذَلِكَ كَانُوا يُؤْفَكُونَ
Wa Yawma Taqūmu As-Sā`atu Yuqsimu Al-Mujrimūna Mā Labithū Ghayra Sā`atin Kadhālika Kānū Yu'ufakūna
And the Day the Hour is established, the criminals will swear that they have remained only for an hour! Thus they were deluded.
35:3
يَاأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اذْكُرُوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ هَلْ مِنْ خَالِقٍ غَيْرُ اللَّهِ يَرْزُقُكُمْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ فَأَنَّى تُؤْفَكُونَ
Yā 'Ayyuhā An-Nāsu Adhkurū Ni`mata Allāhi `Alaykum Hal Min Khāliqin Ghayru Allāhi Yarzuqukum Mina As-Samā'i Wa Al-'ArĐi Lā 'Ilāha 'Illā Huwa Fa'anná Tu'ufakūna
O people, remember the blessings of God upon you. Is there any creator other than God who provides for you from the heaven and the earth? There is no god besides Him, so why do you deviate?
40:62
ذَلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْء ٍ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ فَأَنَّا تُؤْفَكُونَ
Dhalikumu Allāhu Rabbukum Khāliqu Kulli Shay'in Lā 'Ilāha 'Illā Huwa Fa'annā Tu'ufakūna
That is God, your Lord, Creator of all things. There is no god except He, so why do you deviate?
40:63
كَذَلِكَ يُؤْفَكُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ يَجْحَدُونَ
Kadhālika Yu'ufaku Al-Ladhīna Kānū Bi'āyāti Allāhi Yajĥadūna
Thus, those who were denying the revelations of God were deviated.
43:87
وَلَئِنْ سَأَلْتَهُمْ مَنْ خَلَقَهُمْ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّهُ فَأَنَّى يُؤْفَكُونَ
Wa La'in Sa'altahum Man Khalaqahum Layaqūlunna Allāhu Fa'anná Yu'ufakūna
And if you asked them who has created them, they would say, God. Why then do they deviate?
51:9
يُؤْفَكُ عَنْهُ مَنْ أُفِكَ
Yu'ufaku `Anhu Man 'Ufika
To mislead those who are misled.
63:4
وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ تُعْجِبُكَ أَجْسَامُهُمْ وَإِنْ يَقُولُوا تَسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِهِمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ خُشُب ٌ مُسَنَّدَة ٌ يَحْسَبُونَ كُلَّ صَيْحَةٍ عَلَيْهِمْ هُمُ الْعَدُوُّ فَاحْذَرْهُمْ قَاتَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ أَنَّى يُؤْفَكُونَ
Wa 'Idhā Ra'aytahum Tu`jibuka 'Ajsāmuhum Wa 'In Yaqūlū Tasma` Liqawlihim Ka'annahum Khushubun Musannadatun Yaĥsabūna Kulla Şayĥatin `Alayhim Humu Al-`Adūwu Fāĥdharhum Qātalahumu Allāhu 'Anná Yu'ufakūna
And when you see them, you are impressed by their physical stature; and when they speak, you listen to their eloquence. They are like blocks of wood propped-up. They think that every call is intended for them. These are the enemies, so beware of them. May God condemn them; they have deviated.

Those who have brought forth the false accusation were a group from among you. Do not think it is bad for you, for it is good for you. Every person among them will have what he deserves of the sin. And as for he who had the greatest portion of it, he will have a great retribution.
24:12
لَوْلاَ إِذْ سَمِعْتُمُوه ُُ ظَنَّ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتُ بِأَنفُسِهِمْ خَيْرا ً وَقَالُوا هَذَا إِفْك ٌ مُبِين ٌ
Lawlā 'Idh Sami`tumūhu žanna Al-Mu'uminūna Wa Al-Mu'uminātu Bi'anfusihim Khayrāan Wa Qālū Hādhā 'Ifkun Mubīnun
If only when you heard it the believing males and the believing females should have thought good of their own selves and said: "This is an obvious lie!"
25:4
وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِنْ هَذَا إِلاَّ إِفْك ٌ افْتَرَاه ُُ وَأَعَانَه ُُ عَلَيْهِ قَوْم ٌ آخَرُونَ فَقَدْ جَاءُوا ظُلْما ً وَزُورا ً
Wa Qāla Al-Ladhīna Kafarū 'In Hādhā 'Illā 'Ifkun Aftarāhu Wa 'A`ānahu `Alayhi Qawmun 'Ākharūna Faqad Jā'ū žulmāan Wa Zūrāan
And those who rejected said: "This is but a falsehood that he invented and other people have helped him with it." Certainly, they have come with what is unjust and fabricated.
29:17
إِنَّمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ أَوْثَانا ً وَتَخْلُقُونَ إِفْكا ً إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ لاَ يَمْلِكُونَ لَكُمْ رِزْقا ً فَابْتَغُوا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ الرِّزْقَ وَاعْبُدُوه ُُ وَاشْكُرُوا لَهُ~ ُ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ

"You are worshipping nothing except idols besides Him, and you are creating fabrications. Those that you worship besides God do not possess for you any provision, so seek with God the provision and serve Him and be thankful to Him; to Him you will return."
34:43
وَإِذَا تُتْلَى عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتُنَا بَيِّنَات ٍ قَالُوا مَا هَذَا إِلاَّ رَجُل ٌ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَصُدَّكُمْ عَمَّا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ آبَاؤُكُمْ وَقَالُوا مَا هَذَا إِلاَّ إِفْك ٌ مُفْتَرى ً وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَاءَهُمْ إِنْ هَذَا إِلاَّ سِحْر ٌ مُبِين ٌ

And when Our clear revelations were recited to them, they said: This is but a man who wants to turn you away from what your parents were worshiping. And they also said: This is nothing except a fabricated lie. And those who disbelieved say of the truth when it has come to them: This is nothing except evident magic!
37:86
أَئِفْكا ً آلِهَة ً دُونَ اللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ
'A'ifkāan 'Ālihatan Dūna Allāhi Turīdūna
Is it fabricated gods, instead of God, that you want?
37:151
أَلاَ إِنَّهُمْ مِنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ

Indeed, it is out of their falsehood that they say:
46:11
وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَوْ كَانَ خَيْرا ً مَا سَبَقُونَا إِلَيْهِ وَإِذْ لَمْ يَهْتَدُوا بِه ِِ فَسَيَقُولُونَ هَذَا إِفْك ٌ قَدِيم ٌ

And those who had rejected said regarding those who had believed: If it were any good, they would not have beaten us to it. And when they are not able to be guided by it, they will say: This is an old fabrication!
46:28
فَلَوْلاَ نَصَرَهُمُ الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ قُرْبَانا ً آلِهَة ً بَلْ ضَلُّوا عَنْهُمْ وَذَلِكَ إِفْكُهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ

They were to be supported by those who had established offerings to gods instead of God. Alas, they abandoned them. Such was their lie, and what they fabricated.

Did the news not come to them of those before them, the people of Noah and 'Aad and Thamud. And the people of Abraham, and the dwellers of Midyan, and those overthrown. Their messengers came to them with clarity; it was not God who wronged them, but it was themselves that they wronged.
