يَا أَيُّهَا
الَّذِينَ
آمَنُوا
إِنَّمَا
الْخَمْرُ
وَالْمَيْسِرُ
وَالْأَنصَابُ
وَالْأَزْلَامُ
رِجْسٌ
مِّنْ
عَمَلِ
الشَّيْطَانِ
فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ
لَعَلَّكُمْ
تُفْلِحُونَ

O you who have faith! Indeed wine, gambling, idols, and the divining arrows are abominations of Satan’s doing, so avoid them, so that you may be felicitous.
— Ali Quli Qarai
O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination,- of Satan's handwork: eschew such (abomination), that ye may prosper.
