اتَّخَذُوا
أَيْمَانَهُمْ
جُنَّةً
فَصَدُّوا
عَن
سَبِيلِ
اللَّهِ
إِنَّهُمْ
سَاءَ
مَا
كَانُوا
يَعْمَلُونَ
ittakhadhū ʾaymānahum junnatan fa-ṣaddū ʿan sabīli llāhi ʾinnahum sāʾa mā kānū yaʿmalūna
They have made their oaths a screen (for their misdeeds): thus they obstruct (men) from the Path of Allah: truly evil are their deeds.
— Abdullah Yusufali
They make a shield of their oaths, and bar from the way of Allah. Evil indeed is what they used to do.
