سورة النحل، الآية ١٠٥
إِنَّمَا يَفْتَرِى ٱلْكَذِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَٰذِبُونَ ١٠٥
innamā yaftarī l-kadhiba alladhīna lā yu'minūna biāyāti l-lahi wa-ulāika humu l-kādhibūna
They only invent falsehood who do not believe in the verses of Allāh, and it is those who are the liars.
Verse 105 of Surah An-Nahl (16:105), a Meccan surah, is in juz 14, on page 279 of the mushaf. Read it in Arabic with its transliteration, translations and tafsir, and listen to it recited by 73 reciters.
79 recitations by 73 reciters: pick one and it plays in the player.
Muhammad (peace be upon him) is not lying about what he brought from His Lord. Lies are only being invented by those who do not accept Allah’s words, because they do not fear any punishment nor have hope of any reward. Those described with the attribute of disbelief are the liars as lying is a habit that they are accustomed to.
No one fabricates lies except those who do not believe in the verses of Allah; it is they who are the liars.
It is only those who believe not in the Ayât (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh, who fabricate falsehood, and it is they who are liars.
Only they invent falsehood who believe not Allah's revelations, and (only) they are the liars.
It is those who believe not in the Signs of Allah, that forge falsehood: it is they who lie!
Only they forge the lie who do not believe in Allah's communications, and these are the liars.
Surely they who do not believe in the signs of Allah only fabricate lies, and those are they (who are) the liars.
They share a sequence of words with this verse: useful for telling them apart when memorising.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَهْدِيهِمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
Indeed, those who do not believe in the verses of Allāh - Allāh will not guide them, and for them is a painful punishment.
