Qur'an 89:17 Al-Fajr

كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ

No! But you do not honor the orphan

Saheeh International

What it says

The rebuttal comes as a single word of refusal and then changes the subject from theology to conduct. It also changes person. Up to here it was he; from here it is you.

Word by word

كَلَّا kallā no · بَل bal rather · لَّا lā you do not · تُكْرِمُونَ tukrimūna honour · ٱلْيَتِيمَ al-yatīm the orphan
