Surah 36. Yasin, Ayah 19

Cf. 17:13 - "every human being's destiny (ta'ir) have We tied to his neck" - and the corresponding note [17].

For this rendering of musrifun (sing. musrif), see note [21] on the last sentence of 10:1

'What ye call omens arise from your own iii-deeds. Do you suppose that a man who comes to warn you and teach you the better way brings you ill-luck? Fie upon you!'

To call Good evil and accuse of falsehood men of truth who come unselfishly to bring the message of the beneficent Mercy of Allah, is the very height of extravagance and transgression.
