Falsehood
أَئِفۡكًا ءَالِهَةࣰ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ ٨٦
Is it a falsehood - gods beside Allah - that ye desire.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Is it falsehood, gods other than Allah, that you desire?
Insight
Elmalılı explains “ifk” as lie and slander: saying there is a god besides Allah is lying and slander.
Reflect
Notice where your heart attaches to something other than Allah.
