الَّذينَ صَبَروا وَعَلىٰ رَبِّهِم يَتَوَكَّلونَ

Those who endure patiently and place their trust in their Lord.

وَما أَرسَلنا مِن قَبلِكَ إِلّا رِجالًا نوحي إِلَيهِم ۚ فَاسأَلوا أَهلَ الذِّكرِ إِن كُنتُم لا تَعلَمونَ

We sent no messengers before you except men whom We inspired. If you don’t know, ask those who possess knowledge.

بِالبَيِّناتِ وَالزُّبُرِ ۗ وَأَنزَلنا إِلَيكَ الذِّكرَ لِتُبَيِّنَ لِلنّاسِ ما نُزِّلَ إِلَيهِم وَلَعَلَّهُم يَتَفَكَّرونَ

To you, We sent down the Message, providing clear instructions and sacred scriptures, so that you may clarify to people what was revealed to them, and that they may reflect.

أَفَأَمِنَ الَّذينَ مَكَرُوا السَّيِّئَاتِ أَن يَخسِفَ اللَّهُ بِهِمُ الأَرضَ أَو يَأتِيَهُمُ العَذابُ مِن حَيثُ لا يَشعُرونَ

Can those who devise evil plans really feel secure that God won’t cause the earth to swallow them, or that the punishment won’t come upon them whence they perceive not?

أَو يَأخُذَهُم في تَقَلُّبِهِم فَما هُم بِمُعجِزينَ

Or that He won’t catch them amidst their everyday activities, from which they can’t escape?

أَوَلَم يَرَوا إِلىٰ ما خَلَقَ اللَّهُ مِن شَيءٍ يَتَفَيَّأُ ظِلالُهُ عَنِ اليَمينِ وَالشَّمائِلِ سُجَّدًا لِلَّهِ وَهُم داخِرونَ

Don’t they see everything God created, how their shadows shift from the right and the left, all humbly submitting to God?

وَلِلَّهِ يَسجُدُ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَما فِي الأَرضِ مِن دابَّةٍ وَالمَلائِكَةُ وَهُم لا يَستَكبِرونَ

To God prostrates whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth: every living creature, and the angels, and with no pride.

يَخافونَ رَبَّهُم مِن فَوقِهِم وَيَفعَلونَ ما يُؤمَرونَ ۩

They fear their Lord above them and do what they’re commanded.

وَقالَ اللَّهُ لا تَتَّخِذوا إِلـٰهَينِ اثنَينِ ۖ إِنَّما هُوَ إِلـٰهٌ واحِدٌ ۖ فَإِيّايَ فَارهَبونِ

God said, “Don’t take two gods. He is the One and Only God. Therefore, revere only Me.”

وَلَهُ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ وَلَهُ الدّينُ واصِبًا ۚ أَفَغَيرَ اللَّهِ تَتَّقونَ

Everything in the heavens and on earth is His, and unto Him is religion due perpetually. Would you fear anyone other than God?
