لا وَإِذَا لَقُوا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوْا قَالُوا أَمَنَّا وَإِذَا خَلَوْا إِلَى شَيْطِيْنِهِمْ قَالُوا إِنَّا مَعَكُمْ إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ مُسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ ) wa idha laqulladhīna āmanū qālū āmannā wa idhā khalau iſa shayatinihim qālū innā ma‘akum innamā nahnu mustahzi'ūn. And when they meet those who believe, they say: 'We believe'; but when they are alone with their ringleaders they say: We are certainly with you; we are only mocking. ' (2:15) :(Qif) قف yaqifu alaihil يَقِفُ عَلَيْهِ الْوَاقِفُ This stop sign is an abbreviation of the words waqifu; the one who stops here). The reader must stop at this sign.

Example: يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوْا لَا تَأْكُلُوا أَمْوَالَكُمْ بَيْنَكُم بِالْبَاطِلِ إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ تِجَارَةً عَنْ تَرَاضٍ مِنْكُم من وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيْمًا قف ya ayyu halladhina amanu la ta'kukū amwalakum bainakum bilbatili illa an takūna tijaratan 'an trädimminkum wała taqtulū anfusakum innallaha kāna bikum rahīmā. O ye who believe! devour not your property among yourselves by unlawful means, except that you earn by trade with mutual consent. And kill not yourselve,. Allah is Merciful to you. (4:30) 81
