أَوْ
تَقُولُوا
إِنَّمَا
أَشْرَكَ
آبَاؤُنَا
مِن
قَبْلُ
وَكُنَّا
ذُرِّيَّةً
مِّن
بَعْدِهِمْ
أَفَتُهْلِكُنَا
بِمَا
فَعَلَ
الْمُبْطِلُونَ
ʾaw taqūlū ʾinnamā ʾashraka ʾābāʾunā min qablu wa-kunnā dhurriyyatan min baʿdihim ʾa-fa-tuhlikunā bi-mā faʿala l-mubṭilūna
or say, "Our fathers worshipped idols before us and we as their descendants followed them. Would you then destroy us because of what the followers of falsehood have done?"
