أَيْنَمَا تَكُونُوا يُدْرِكُّمُ الْمَوْتُ وَلَوْ كُنتُمْ فِي بُرُوج ٍ مُشَيَّدَة ٍ وَإِنْ تُصِبْهُمْ حَسَنَة ٌ يَقُولُوا هَذِه ِِ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ وَإِنْ تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَة ٌ يَقُولُوا هَذِه ِِ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ قُلْ كُلّ ٌ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ فَمَالِ هَاؤُلاَء الْقَوْمِ لاَ يَكَادُونَ يَفْقَهُونَ حَدِيثا ً
'Aynamā Takūnū Yudrikkumu Al-Mawtu Wa Law Kuntum Fī Burūjin Mushayyadatin Wa 'In Tuşibhum Ĥasanatun Yaqūlū Hadhihi Min `Indi Allāhi Wa 'In Tuşibhum Sayyi'atun Yaqūlū Hadhihi Min `Indika Qul Kullun Min `Indi Allāhi Famāli Hā'uulā' Al-Qawmi Lā Yakādūna Yafqahūna Ĥadīthāan
Wherever you may be, death will find you, even if you are in fortified towers. If any good befalls them, they say: "This is from God," and if any evil befalls them, they say: "This is from you!" Say: "All is from God;" what is wrong with these people, they barely understand any narrative!
6:25
وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَسْتَمِعُ إِلَيْكَ وَجَعَلْنَا عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَنْ يَفْقَهُوه ُُ وَفِي آذَانِهِمْ وَقْرا ً وَإِنْ يَرَوْا كُلَّ آيَة ٍ لاَ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهَا حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءُوكَ يُجَادِلُونَكَ يَقُولُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِنْ هَذَا إِلاَّ أَسَاطِيرُ الأَوَّلِينَ
Wa Minhum Man Yastami`u 'Ilayka Wa Ja`alnā `Alá Qulūbihim 'Akinnatan 'An Yafqahūhu Wa Fī 'Ādhānihim Waqrāan Wa 'In Yaraw Kulla 'Āyatin Lā Yu'uminū Bihā Ĥattá 'Idhā Jā'ūka Yujādilūnaka Yaqūlu Al-Ladhīna Kafarū 'In Hādhā 'Illā 'Asāţīru Al-'Awwalīna
And from them are those who listen to you; and We have made covers over their hearts to prevent them from understanding it, and a deafness in their ears; and if they see every sign they will not believe; even when they come to you they argue, those who reject say: "This is nothing except fictional tales of old!"
6:65
قُلْ هُوَ الْقَادِرُ عَلَى أَنْ يَبْعَثَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابا ً مِنْ فَوْقِكُمْ أَوْ مِنْ تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِكُمْ أَوْ يَلْبِسَكُمْ شِيَعا ً وَيُذِيقَ بَعْضَكُمْ بَأْسَ بَعْض ٍ انظُرْ كَيْفَ نُصَرِّفُ الآيَاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَفْقَهُونَ
Qul Huwa Al-Qādiru `Alá 'An Yab`atha `Alaykum `Adhābāan Min Fawqikum 'Aw Min Taĥti 'Arjulikum 'Aw Yalbisakum Shiya`āan Wa Yudhīqa Ba`Đakum Ba'sa Ba`Đin Anžur Kayfa Nuşarrifu Al-'Āyāti La`allahum Yafqahūna
Say: "He is able to send retribution from above you or from below your feet, or He will make you belong to opposing factions, then He will let you taste the might of each other." See how We dispatch the signs, perhaps they may understand.
6:98
وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَنشَأَكُمْ مِنْ نَفْس ٍ وَاحِدَة ٍ فَمُسْتَقَرّ ٌ وَمُسْتَوْدَع ٌ قَدْ فَصَّلْنَا الآيَاتِ لِقَوْم ٍ يَفْقَهُون
Wa Huwa Al-Ladhī 'Ansha'akum Min Nafsin Wāĥidatin Famustaqarrun Wa Mustawda`un Qad Faşşalnā Al-'Āyāti Liqawmin Yafqahūn
And He is the One who initiated you from one person; with a place for stability and development. We have explained the signs to a people who understand.
7:179
وَلَقَدْ ذَرَأْنَا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثِيرا ً مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَالإِنسِ لَهُمْ قُلُوب ٌ لاَ يَفْقَهُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ أَعْيُن ٌ لاَ يُبْصِرُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ آذَان ٌ لاَ يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَا أُوْلَائِكَ كَالأَنعَامِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ أُوْلَائِكَ هُمُ الْغَافِلُونَ
Wa Laqad Dhara'nā Lijahannama Kathīrāan Mina Al-Jinni Wa Al-'Insi Lahum Qulūbun Lā Yafqahūna Bihā Wa Lahum 'A`yunun Lā Yubşirūna Bihā Wa Lahum 'Ādhānun Lā Yasma`ūna Bihā 'Ūlā'ika Kāl'an`āmi Bal Hum 'AĐallu 'Ūlā'ika Humu Al-Ghāfilūna
And We have given to Hell many of the Jinn and mankind; they had hearts with which they did not understand, and they had eyes with which they did not see, and they had ears with which they did not hear. They are like livestock; no, they are even more astray. These are the unaware ones.
8:65
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ حَرِّضِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَى الْقِتَالِ إِنْ يَكُنْ مِنْكُمْ عِشْرُونَ صَابِرُونَ يَغْلِبُوا مِائَتَيْنِ وَإِنْ يَكُنْ مِنْكُمْ مِائَة ٌ يَغْلِبُوا أَلْفا ً مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْم ٌ لاَ يَفْقَهُونَ
Yā 'Ayyuhā An-Nabīyu ĤarriĐi Al-Mu'uminīna `Alá Al-Qitāli 'In Yakun Minkum `Ishrūna Şābirūna Yaghlibū Miā'atayni Wa 'In Yakun Minkum Miā'atun Yaghlibū 'Alfāan Mina Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Bi'annahum Qawmun Lā Yafqahūna
O prophet, urge the believers to fight. If there are twenty of you who are patient, they will defeat two hundred. And if there are one hundred of you, they will defeat one thousand from among those who reject; that is because they are a people who do not understand.
9:81
فَرِحَ الْمُخَلَّفُونَ بِمَقْعَدِهِمْ خِلاَفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَكَرِهُوا أَنْ يُجَاهِدُوا بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَقَالُوا لاَ تَنفِرُوا فِي الْحَرِّ قُلْ نَارُ جَهَنَّمَ أَشَدُّ حَرّا ً لَوْ كَانُوا يَفْقَهُونَ
Fariĥa Al-Mukhallafūna Bimaq`adihim Khilāfa Rasūli Allāhi Wa Karihū 'An Yujāhidū Bi'amwālihim Wa 'Anfusihim Fī Sabīli Allāhi Wa Qālū Lā Tanfirū Fī Al-Ĥarri Qul Nāru Jahannama 'Ashaddu Ĥarrāan Law Kānū Yafqahūna
Those who have remained are happy with their position of lagging behind the messenger of God, and they disliked striving with their money and lives in the cause of God; and they say: "Do not mobilize in the heat." Say: "The fire of Hell is much hotter," if they could only understand.
9:87
رَضُوا بِأَنْ يَكُونُوا مَعَ الْخَوَالِفِ وَطُبِعَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لاَ يَفْقَهُونَ
RaĐū Bi'an Yakūnū Ma`a Al-Khawālifi Wa Ţubi`a `Alá Qulūbihim Fahum Lā Yafqahūna
They were content to stay with those who remained behind, and it was imprinted on their hearts, for they do not understand.
9:127
وَإِذَا مَا أُنزِلَتْ سُورَة ٌ نَظَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ هَلْ يَرَاكُمْ مِنْ أَحَد ٍ ثُمَّ انصَرَفُوا صَرَفَ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْم ٌ لاَ يَفْقَهُونَ
Wa 'Idhā Mā 'Unzilat Sūratun Nažara Ba`Đuhum 'Ilá Ba`Đin Hal Yarākum Min 'Aĥadin Thumma Anşarafū Şarafa Allāhu Qulūbahum Bi'annahum Qawmun Lā Yafqahūna
And when a chapter is sent down, they look at one another: "Does anyone see you?" Then they turn away. God turns away their hearts, for they are a people who do not understand.
11:91
قَالُوا يَا شُعَيْبُ مَا نَفْقَه ُُ كَثِيرا ً مِمَّا تَقُولُ وَإِنَّا لَنَرَاكَ فِينَا ضَعِيفا ً وَلَوْلاَ رَهْطُكَ لَرَجَمْنَاكَ وَمَا أَنْتَ عَلَيْنَا بِعَزِيز ٍ
Qālū Yā Shu`aybu Mā Nafqahu Kathīrāan Mimmā Taqūlu Wa 'Innā Lanarāka Fīnā Đa`īfāan Wa Lawlā Rahţuka Larajamnāka Wa Mā 'Anta `Alaynā Bi`azīzin
They said: "O Shu'ayb, we do not understand most of what you say, and we see you as weak among us; and if it were not for who your family is, we would have stoned you, and you would not be proud against us."
17:44
تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ السَّمَاوَاتُ السَّبْعُ وَالأَرْضُ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ وَإِنْ مِنْ شَيْء ٍ إِلاَّ يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِه ِِ وَلَكِنْ لاَ تَفْقَهُونَ تَسْبِيحَهُمْ إِنَّه ُُ كَانَ حَلِيماً غَفُورا ً
Tusabbiĥu Lahu As-Samāwātu As-Sab`u Wa Al-'ArĐu Wa Man Fīhinna Wa 'In Min Shay'in 'Illā Yusabbiĥu Biĥamdihi Wa Lakin Lā Tafqahūna Tasbīĥahum 'Innahu Kāna Ĥalīmāan Ghafūrāan
He is glorified by the seven heavens and the earth and that which is in them, and there is not a thing except it glorifies His praise, but you do not comprehend their glorification. He is Compassionate, Forgiving.
17:46
وَجَعَلْنَا عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَنْ يَفْقَهُوه ُُ وَفِي آذَانِهِمْ وَقْرا ً وَإِذَا ذَكَرْتَ رَبَّكَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ وَحْدَه ُُ وَلَّوْا عَلَى أَدْبَارِهِمْ نُفُورا ً
Wa Ja`alnā `Alá Qulūbihim 'Akinnatan 'An Yafqahūhu Wa Fī 'Ādhānihim Waqrāan Wa 'Idhā Dhakarta Rabbaka Fī Al-Qur'āni Waĥdahu Wa Llaw `Alá 'Adbārihim Nufūrāan
And we place shields over their hearts, that they should not understand it, and a deafness in their ears. And if you mention your Lord in the Qur'an alone, they run away turning their backs in aversion.
18:57
وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ ذُكِّرَ بِآيَاتِ رَبِّه ِِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهَا وَنَسِيَ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ~ُ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَنْ يَفْقَهُوه ُُ وَفِي آذَانِهِمْ وَقْرا ً وَإِنْ تَدْعُهُمْ إِلَى الْهُدَى فَلَنْ يَهْتَدُوا إِذاً أَبَدا ً
Wa Man 'Ažlamu Mimman Dhukkira Bi'āyāti Rabbihi Fa'a`raĐa `Anhā Wa Nasiya Mā Qaddamat Yadāhu 'Innā Ja`alnā `Alá Qulūbihim 'Akinnatan 'An Yafqahūhu Wa Fī 'Ādhānihim Waqrāan Wa 'In Tad`uhum 'Ilá Al-Hudá Falan Yahtadū 'Idhāan 'Abadāan
And who is more wicked than he who was reminded of the revelations of his Lord but he turned away from them, and he forgot what his hands had done. We have made veils upon their hearts from understanding it, and a deafness in their ears. And if you invite them to the guidance, they will never be guided.
18:93
حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ بَيْنَ السَّدَّيْنِ وَجَدَ مِنْ دُونِهِمَا قَوْما ً لاَ يَكَادُونَ يَفْقَهُونَ قَوْلا ً
Ĥattá 'Idhā Balagha Bayna As-Saddayni Wajada Min Dūnihimā Qawmāan Lā Yakādūna Yafqahūna Qawlāan
Until he reached the area between the two barriers, he found no one besides them except a people who could barely understand anything said.
20:28
يَفْقَهُوا قَوْلِي
Yafqahū Qawlī
"So they can understand what I say."
48:15
سَيَقُولُ الْمُخَلَّفُونَ إِذَا انطَلَقْتُمْ إِلَى مَغَانِمَ لِتَأْخُذُوهَا ذَرُونَا نَتَّبِعْكُمْ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يُبَدِّلُوا كَلاَمَ اللَّهِ قُلْ لَنْ تَتَّبِعُونَا كَذَلِكُمْ قَالَ اللَّهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَسَيَقُولُونَ بَلْ تَحْسُدُونَنَا بَلْ كَانُوا لاَ يَفْقَهُونَ إِلاَّ قَلِيلا ً
Sayaqūlu Al-Mukhallafūna 'Idhā Anţalaqtum 'Ilá Maghānima Lita'khudhūhā Dharūnā Nattabi`kum Yurīdūna 'An Yubaddilū Kalāma Allāhi Qul Lan Tattabi`ūnā Kadhālikum Qāla Allāhu Min Qablu Fasayaqūlūna Bal Taĥsudūnanā Bal Kānū Lā Yafqahūna 'Illā Qalīlāan
Those who lagged behind will say, when you venture out to collect the spoils: "Let us follow you!" They want to change the words of God. Say: "You will not follow us; this is what God has decreed beforehand." They will then say: "No, you are envious of us." Alas, they rarely understood anything.
59:13
لَأَنْتُمْ أَشَدُّ رَهْبَة ً فِي صُدُورِهِمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْم ٌ لاَ يَفْقَهُونَ
La'antum 'Ashaddu Rahbatan Fī Şudūrihim Mina Allāhi Dhālika Bi'annahum Qawmun Lā Yafqahūna
Indeed, you strike more terror in their hearts than their fear of God. This is because they are people who do not understand.
63:3
ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ آمَنُوا ثُمَّ كَفَرُوا فَطُبِعَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لاَ يَفْقَهُونَ
Dhālika Bi'annahum 'Āmanū Thumma Kafarū Faţubi`a `Alá Qulūbihim Fahum Lā Yafqahūna
That is because they believed, then disbelieved. Hence, their hearts are sealed; they do not understand.
63:7
هُمُ الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ لاَ تُنْفِقُوا عَلَى مَنْ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى يَنْفَضُّوا وَلِلَّهِ خَزَائِنُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَلَكِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لاَ يَفْقَهُونَ
Humu Al-Ladhīna Yaqūlūna Lā Tunfiqū `Alá Man `Inda Rasūli Allāhi Ĥattá YanfaĐĐū Wa Lillahi Khazā'inu As-Samāwāti Wa Al-'ArĐi Wa Lakinna Al-Munāfiqīna Lā Yafqahūna
They are the ones who say: Do not spend on those who are with the messenger of God, unless they abandon him! And to God belong the treasures of the heavens and the earth, but the hypocrites do not understand.

وَمَا كَانَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ لِيَنفِرُوا كَافَّة ً فَلَوْلاَ نَفَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ فِرْقَة ٍ مِنْهُمْ طَائِفَة ٌ لِيَتَفَقَّهُوا فِي الدِّينِ وَلِيُنذِرُوا قَوْمَهُمْ إِذَا رَجَعُوا إِلَيْهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَحْذَرُونَ

And it is not advisable for the believers to mobilize in their entirety. For every battalion that marches out, let a group remain to study the system, and warn their people when they return to them, perhaps they will be aware.
