[We would then be] like one whom the devils enticed [to wander] upon the earth confused, [while] he has companions inviting him to guidance, [calling], 'Come to us.'

And We did not make the qiblah which you used to face except that We might make evident who would follow the Messenger from who would turn back on his heels. And indeed, it is difficult except for those whom Allah has guided. And never would Allah have caused you to lose your faith. Indeed Allah is, to the people, Kind and Merciful. (Sahih International)

But when the two armies sighted each other, he turned on his heels and said, "Indeed, I am disassociated from you. Indeed, I see what you do not see; indeed I fear Allah. And Allah is severe in penalty." (Sahih International)

It's important to understand that while 'hubb' is the general term, the variations you hear in our audio are intentional, aiming to mirror the exact pronunciation as it appears in the Quran. This approach ensures that learners get an authentic experience of Quranic Arabic pronunciation, enhancing their understanding and connection to the holy text.
