They Turned Away
وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمۡ ءَايَٰتِنَا فَكَانُواْ عَنۡهَا مُعۡرِضِينَ ٨١
And we gave them Our revelations, but they were averse to them.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
We gave them Our signs, but from them they were turning away.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, miracles were shown through prophets, but they did not look or care.
Reflect
Don’t stay indifferent to Allah’s signs.
