بابل
Bābil
Place
The Quran mentions Babylon in the story of Harut and Marut (2:102).
What it means
The verse says that the devils taught people magic, and “what was sent down to the two angels at Babylon, Harut and Marut”, who warned that they were only a test (2:102). The Quran does not mention the Tower of Babel, but the Bible’s story of the confusion of languages (Genesis 11) has a different setting.
