Sura 45
Aya 7
7
وَيلٌ لِكُلِّ أَفّاكٍ أَثيمٍ

Muhammad Asad

Woe unto every sinful self-deceiver1
  • The term affak, which literally signifies a "liar" - and, particularly, a "habitual liar" -~ has here the connotation of "one who lies to himself" because he is ma'fuk, i.e., 'perverted in his intellect and judgment" (Jawhari).
