The Pen · Meccan · Juz 29 · Page 564
Do Not Obey the Deniers
فَلَا تُطِعِ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ٨
Therefor obey not thou the rejecters.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
So do not obey the deniers.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this means not heeding or following the deniers who reject the truths, try to prove them false, and will in the end be proven false themselves.
Reflect
Don’t be swayed today by those who belittle the truth.
