Surah Ornaments of Gold [Az-Zukhruf] Ayah 89 Location Maccah Number 43
وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ فِي قَرۡيَةٖ مِّن نَّذِيرٍ إِلَّا قَالَ مُتۡرَفُوهَآ إِنَّا وَجَدۡنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا عَلَىٰٓ أُمَّةٖ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِم مُّقۡتَدُونَ [٢٣]
Na kadhaalika hatukumtuma mwonyaji kwenye mji wowote ila watu wake waliodeka kwa starehe walisema: 'Hakika sisi tuliwakuta baba zetu wanashika dini mahsusi, na sisi tunafuata nyayo zao.'
