The Heights · Meccan · Juz 9 · Page 164

فَوَقَعَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَبَطَلَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ ﴿118﴾
Thus truth was confirmed, and all that they did was made of no effect.
فَوَقَعَ fawaqaʿa So was established
ٱلْحَقُّ l-ḥaqu the truth
وَبَطَلَ wabaṭala and became futile
مَا what
كَانُوا۟ kānū they used to
يَعْمَلُونَ yaʿmalūna do
