al-‘Ankabūt (The Spider)

ٱلْعَنْكَبُوت

29:43

وَتِلْكَ

الْأَمْثَالُ

نَضْرِبُهَا

لِلنَّاسِ

وَمَا

يَعْقِلُهَا

إِلَّا

الْعَالِمُونَ

wa-tilka l-ʾamthālu naḍribuhā li-n-nāsi wa-mā yaʿqiluhā ʾillā l-ʿālimūna

These are parables which We tell to human being, but only the learned ones understand them.

— Muhammad Sarwar
