إِنَّمَا
يُرِيدُ
الشَّيْطَانُ
أَن
يُوقِعَ
بَيْنَكُمُ
الْعَدَاوَةَ
وَالْبَغْضَاءَ
فِي
الْخَمْرِ
وَالْمَيْسِرِ
وَيَصُدَّكُمْ
عَن
ذِكْرِ
اللَّهِ
وَعَنِ
الصَّلَاةِ
فَهَلْ
أَنتُم
مُّنتَهُونَ
ʾinnamā yurīdu sh-shayṭānu ʾan yūqiʿa baynakumu l-ʿadāwata wa-l-baghḍāʾa fī l-khamri wa-l-maysiri wa-yaṣuddakum ʿan dhikri llāhi wa-ʿani ṣ-ṣalāti fa-hal ʾantum muntahūna
Indeed Satan seeks to cast enmity and hatred among you through wine and gambling, and to hinder you from the remembrance of Allah and from prayer. Will you, then, relinquish?
— Ali Quli Qarai
Satan's plan is (but) to excite enmity and hatred between you, with intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allah, and from prayer: will ye not then abstain?
