What does the Qur'an say about following forefathers blindly?

Key findingsEditorial

One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.

  1. 01 2:170 And when it is said unto them: follow that which God hath revealed - they say: NAY, WE FOLLOW THAT WHEREIN WE FOUND OUR FATHERS. What! Even though their fathers were wholly unintelligent and had no guidance? In because it is the standard form of the exchange, and because the retort names the two things that would have to be true for the defence to work.
  2. 02 43:22–24 Nay, for they say only: we found our fathers following a religion, and WE ARE GUIDED BY THEIR FOOTPRINTS ... And the warner said: WHAT! EVEN THOUGH I BRING YOU BETTER GUIDANCE THAN THAT YE FOUND YOUR FATHERS FOLLOWING? They said: we disbelieve in that wherewith ye have been sent. In as ONE PASSAGE because it is the only place the argument is carried through to its end - the offer of something better is made explicitly and explicitly refused.
  3. 03 5:104 And when it is said unto them: come unto that which God hath revealed and unto the messenger - they say: ENOUGH FOR US IS THAT WHEREIN WE FOUND OUR FATHERS. What! Even though their fathers had no knowledge whatsoever and no guidance? In because the phrase ENOUGH FOR US is the most candid statement of the position anywhere in the set.
  4. 04 7:28 And when they do some lewdness they say: WE FOUND OUR FATHERS DOING IT AND GOD HATH ENJOINED IT ON US. Say: God, verily, enjoineth not lewdness. Do ye tell concerning God that which ye know not? In because it shows the appeal to ancestry being used to license conduct and then attributed to God, which is the aggravated form.
  5. 05 10:78 They said: HAST THOU COME UNTO US TO PERVERT US FROM THAT IN WHICH WE FOUND OUR FATHERS, and that you two may own the place of greatness in the land? In because it adds a motive - the accusation that the messenger wants power - which is how the objection actually gets made.
  6. 06 26:74–76 They said: nay, but we found our fathers acting on this wise. He said: see now that which ye worship, ye and your forefathers! In because Abraham's reply is not an argument but an instruction to LOOK, which is the text's recurring remedy.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation

Written by the editors. Not a translation, and not a source. It is an editorial restatement of the verses in this study and carries their name because someone has to answer for it.

This is one of the most repeated exchanges in the Qur'an, and it always runs the same way.

Someone says: follow what God has revealed. The answer comes back: NO - WE FOLLOW WHAT WE FOUND OUR FATHERS DOING. At 2:170, 5:104, 7:28, 10:78, 21:53, 26:74, 31:21 and 43:22, in almost identical words.

What varies is the reply, and the replies are the study.

2:170 and 5:104 both answer with a conditional that exposes the assumption: WHAT, EVEN THOUGH THEIR FATHERS WERE WHOLLY UNINTELLIGENT AND HAD NO GUIDANCE? The defence only works if the fathers were right, and that is precisely what is not being examined.

43:22-24 is the fullest and the bleakest, because it runs the argument to its end. They say they are GUIDED BY THEIR FATHERS' FOOTPRINTS. The warner puts the decisive question - even though I bring you BETTER GUIDANCE than what you found your fathers following? And the answer is simply: we disbelieve in what you were sent with. The offer is understood and refused.

5:104 contains the most honest sentence in the set: ENOUGH FOR US IS THAT WHEREIN WE FOUND OUR FATHERS. No argument is being made; sufficiency is being asserted.

7:28 shows the aggravated case, where the inherited practice is also attributed to God, and the reply separates the two: God does not enjoin lewdness - DO YE TELL CONCERNING GOD THAT WHICH YE KNOW NOT?

And 26:76 gives Abraham's answer, which is not a refutation at all: SEE NOW THAT WHICH YE WORSHIP, YE AND YOUR FOREFATHERS. Look at it. That is the same remedy 22:46 offers for a closed understanding, and What does the Qur'an mean by hearts and eyes that 'do not understand'? carries it.

not a scholar — what this signature means

I am not a scholar, and nothing here asks you to treat me as one. The plain words on this site are my restatement of what the five translations shown above say, together with counts derived from the text itself — nothing more. I sign them so that a named person is accountable for every sentence, not so you'll take my word for anything. The authority on this page is the text and its translators. If my words don't match theirs, mine are the ones that are wrong.

Scope of this study

This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.

What this study does not answer, and which source would be needed. It does not say on what occasion any of these verses was given: this study holds no source whose usage rights can be verified. It does not report how any commentator has read them: this study holds no either - the Arabic of , and is public domain by age, but no English edition with verifiable usage rights exists. And it offers no academic-historical reading: this study holds no such scholarship. Each of those is an absence with a named cause, not an omission.

What this rests on

Opens with 2:170, widening across 6 passages in all.

Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

The versesSource fact 6 passages, each with every cleared translation

6 passages, chosen for this question and signed as part of it. Each carries the reason it is here, and each renders in full: the Arabic, then every cleared translation of that verse under its translator's name.

Each verse opens on the translation that comes first in the site's fixed order, which runs from the newest translation to the oldest. The order is not a preference. Open Compare translations on any verse to read the others.

43:22 Jo, por ata thonë: "Ne i kemi gjetur baballarët tanë në një fe dhe ne po shkojmë gjurmëve të tyre."

43:23 Kështu pra, sa herë që dërgonim para teje paralajmërues në ndonjë qytet, pasanikët e tij thoshin: "Ne i kemi gjetur baballarët tanë në një fe dhe ne po ndjekim gjurmët e tyre."

43:24 Ai (i dërguari) u thoshte: "A edhe nëse ju sjell diçka më të drejtë se ajo në të cilën i gjetët baballarët tuaj?!" Ata përgjigjeshin: "Ne nuk besojmë në atë me të cilën jeni dërguar."

43:23 আর এভাবেই হে নবী! তোমার পূর্বে যখনই আমি কোন জনপদে সতর্ককারী (রাসূল) পাঠিয়েছি, তখনই সেখানকার বিত্তবানরা বলেছে: ‘নিশ্চয় আমরা আমাদের পিতৃপুরুষদেরকে একটি দ্বীন ও মতাদর্শের উপর পেয়েছি এবং নিশ্চয় আমরা তাদেরই পদাঙ্ক অনুসরণ করব।’

43:24 তখন সেই সতর্ককারী রাসূল বললেন, ‘তোমরা তোমাদের পিতৃপুরুষদের যে পথের ওপর পেয়েছ, আমি যদি তার চেয়েও উৎকৃষ্ট পথনির্দেশ নিয়ে তোমাদের কাছে আসি, তবুও কি?’(১০) তারা বলল, ‘নিশ্চয় তোমাদেরকে যা দিয়ে প্রেরণ করা হয়েছে, আমরা তা অস্বীকার করি।’

Edward Henry Palmer1880 A sect He guides, and for a sect of them was error due; verily, they did take the devils for their patrons instead of God, and they did count that they were guided

Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 ayahs. The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it4 of the 5 paragraphs signed with this study; the paragraph naming what it does not answer is at the top of the page

The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.

Read across the four public-domain translations - Sale 1734, Rodwell 1861, Palmer 1880, Pickthall 1930 - of 2:170, 43:22-24, 5:104, 7:28, 10:78, 26:74-76, in full, and nothing else. This study consults no , no , no occasion of revelation and no biography, because none is yet available in an edition whose usage rights can be verified. Itani 2012, the fifth translation shown with these verses, was not consulted for this study.

How this set was arrived at. The verses were found by a word search of the four public-domain translations, using terms chosen by the editor and listed here as they were searched - found + our + fathers; fathers + following; forefathers; what + we + found + fathers. The search was a way of finding passages, not a judgement about what they mean: that several translators chose the same English word is not evidence about the Arabic. A different choice of terms gives a different set.

What was returned and not carried. 2 verse(s) the search qualified are recorded as not carried with a reason each, rather than silently discarded: 21:53 - near-identical to 26:74, which is kept with its reply; 31:21 - near-identical to 2:170; recorded so the repetition is visible.

Where the translations part company, named rather than resolved. How differently the translations word each verse is shown on that verse's page, and the study names the differences it turns on rather than choosing between them.

tafsir

Commentary on the Qur'an: the works in which scholars interpret and explain its verses.

A note by the AALAMIN editors. The definition is their own wording, not quoted from a reference work. The platform's scope statement names it as "interpretation (tafsir)".

hadith

A report that claims to preserve something the Prophet Muhammad said or did.

A note by the AALAMIN editors. The definition is their own wording, not quoted from a reference work. It follows the platform's standing distinction: the sunnah is the practice, and a hadith is a report claiming to preserve it.

asbab al-nuzul

Accounts of the circumstances in which particular verses of the Qur'an are reported to have been revealed ("occasion of revelation").

A note by the AALAMIN editors. The definition is their own wording, not quoted from a reference work. "Occasion of revelation", in the singular, is the wording the platform's studies use when they say what they rest on.

al-Tabari

A scholar who wrote Jami' al-bayan, a commentary on the Qur'an in Arabic; he died in 923 CE.
