Reflections on Surah Al-An'am Ayah 78

6:78
فلما راى الشمس بازغة قال هاذا ربي هاذا اكبر فلما افلت قال يا قوم اني بريء مما تشركون ٧٨

فَلَمَّاﲁ

قَالَﲅ
هَٰذَاﲆ
رَبِّيﲇ
هَٰذَآﲈ
أَكۡبَرُۖﲉﲊ
فَلَمَّآﲋ
أَفَلَتۡﲌ
قَالَﲍ
يَٰقَوۡمِﲎ
إِنِّيﲏ
بَرِيٓءٞﲐ
مِّمَّاﲑ
تُشۡرِكُونَﲒ

Then when he saw the sun shining, he said, “This must be my Lord—it is the greatest!” But again when it set, he declared, “O my people! I totally reject whatever you associate ˹with Allah in worship˺.
