بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Bismillah hir rahman nir raheem
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
طسٓمٓ
Taa-Seeen-Meeem
Ta, Seen, Meem.
تِلۡكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ ٱلۡمُبِينِ
Tilka Aayaatul Kitaabil Mubeen
These are the verses of the clear Book.
لَعَلَّكَ بَٰخِعٞ نَّفۡسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُواْ مُؤۡمِنِينَ
La’allaka baakhi’un nafsaka allaa yakoonoo mu’mineen
Perhaps, [O Muhammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers.
إِن نَّشَأۡ نُنَزِّلۡ عَلَيۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةٗ فَظَلَّتۡ أَعۡنَٰقُهُمۡ لَهَا خَٰضِعِينَ
In nashaa nunazzil ‘alaihim minas samaaa’i Aayatan fazallat a’naaquhum lahaa khaadi’een
If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.
وَمَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن ذِكۡرٖ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ مُحۡدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ عَنۡهُ مُعۡرِضِينَ
Wa maa yaateehim min zikrim minar Rahmaani muhdasin illaa kaanoo ‘anhu mu’rideen
And no revelation comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it.
فَقَدۡ كَذَّبُواْ فَسَيَأۡتِيهِمۡ أَنۢبَـٰٓؤُاْ مَا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ
Faqad kazzaboo fasa yaateehim ambaaa’u maa kaanoo bihee yastahzi’oon
For they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule.
أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَمۡ أَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوۡجٖ كَرِيمٍ
Awa lam yaraw ilal ardi kam ambatnaa feehaa min kulli zawjin kareem
Did they not look at the earth – how much We have produced therein from every noble kind?
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ
Inna fee zaalika la Aayah; wa maa kaana aksaruhum mu’mineen
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Wa inna Rabbaka la Huwal ‘Azeezur Raheem (section 1)
And indeed, your Lord – He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
وَإِذۡ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئۡتِ ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
Wa iz naadaa Rabbuka Moosaaa ani’-til qawmaz zaalimeen
And [mention] when your Lord called Moses, [saying], “Go to the wrongdoing people –
قَوۡمَ فِرۡعَوۡنَۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ
Qawma Fir’awn; alaa yattaqoon
The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Allah?”
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ
Qaala Rabbi inneee akhaafu ai yukazziboon
He said, “My Lord, indeed I fear that they will deny me
وَيَضِيقُ صَدۡرِي وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِي فَأَرۡسِلۡ إِلَىٰ هَٰرُونَ
Wa yadeequ sadree wa laa yantaliqu lisaanee fa arsil ilaa Haaroon
And that my breast will tighten and my tongue will not be fluent, so send for Aaron.
وَلَهُمۡ عَلَيَّ ذَنۢبٞ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقۡتُلُونِ
Wa lahum ‘alaiya zambun fa akhaafu ai yaqtuloon
And they have upon me a [claim due to] sin, so I fear that they will kill me.”
قَالَ كَلَّاۖ فَٱذۡهَبَا بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسۡتَمِعُونَ
Qaala kallaa fazhabaa bi Aayaatinaaa innaa ma’akum mustami’oon
[Allah] said, “No. Go both of you with Our signs; indeed, We are with you, listening.
فَأۡتِيَا فِرۡعَوۡنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
Faatiyaa Fir’awna faqoolaaa innaa Rasoolu Rabbil ‘aalameen
Go to Pharaoh and say, ‘We are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds,
أَنۡ أَرۡسِلۡ مَعَنَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَـٰٓءِيلَ
An arsil ma’anaa Baneee Israaa’eel
[Commanded to say], “Send with us the Children of Israel.”‘”
قَالَ أَلَمۡ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدٗا وَلَبِثۡتَ فِينَا مِنۡ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ
Qaala alam nurabbika feenaa waleedanw wa labista feenaa min ‘umurika sineen
[Pharaoh] said, “Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you remained among us for years of your life?
وَفَعَلۡتَ فَعۡلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِي فَعَلۡتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ
Wa fa’alta fa’latakal latee fa’alta wa anta minal kaafireen
And [then] you did your deed which you did, and you were of the ungrateful.”
قَالَ فَعَلۡتُهَآ إِذٗا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ
Qaala fa’altuhaaa izanw wa ana minad daaaleen
[Moses] said, “I did it, then, while I was of those astray.
فَفَرَرۡتُ مِنكُمۡ لَمَّا خِفۡتُكُمۡ فَوَهَبَ لِي رَبِّي حُكۡمٗا وَجَعَلَنِي مِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
Fafarartu minkum lam maa khiftukum fawahaba lee Rabbee hukmanw wa ja’alanee minal mursaleen
So I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord granted me wisdom and prophethood and appointed me [as one] of the messengers.
وَتِلۡكَ نِعۡمَةٞ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَيَّ أَنۡ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَـٰٓءِيلَ
Wa tilka ni’matun tamun nuhaa ‘alaiya an ‘abbatta Baneee Israaa’eel
And is this a favor of which you remind me – that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?”
قَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
Qaala Fir’awnu wa maa Rabbul ‘aalameen
Said Pharaoh, “And what is the Lord of the worlds?”
قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَآۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ
Qaala Rabbus samaawaati wal ardi wa maa bainahumaa in kuntum mooqineen
[Moses] said, “The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced.”
قَالَ لِمَنۡ حَوۡلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسۡتَمِعُونَ
Qaala liman hawlahooo alaa tastami’oon
[Pharaoh] said to those around him, “Do you not hear?”
قَالَ رَبُّكُمۡ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
Qaala Rabbukum wa Rabbu aabaaa’ikumul awwaleen
[Moses] said, “Your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers.”
قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِيٓ أُرۡسِلَ إِلَيۡكُمۡ لَمَجۡنُونٞ
Qaala inna Rasoolakumul lazee ursila ilaikum lamajnoon
[Pharaoh] said, “Indeed, your ‘messenger’ who has been sent to you is mad.”
قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلۡمَشۡرِقِ وَٱلۡمَغۡرِبِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَآۖ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ
Qaala Rabbul mashriqi wal maghribi wa maa baina humaa in kuntum ta’qiloon
[Moses] said, “Lord of the east and the west and that between them, if you were to reason.”
قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذۡتَ إِلَٰهًا غَيۡرِي لَأَجۡعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمَسۡجُونِينَ
Qaala la’init takhazta ilaahan ghairee la aj’alannaka minal masjooneen
[Pharaoh] said, “If you take a god other than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned.”
قَالَ أَوَلَوۡ جِئۡتُكَ بِشَيۡءٖ مُّبِينٖ
Qaala awalaw ji’tuka bishai’im mubeen
[Moses] said, “Even if I brought you proof manifest?”
قَالَ فَأۡتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ
Qaala faati biheee in kunta minas saadiqeen
[Pharaoh] said, “Then bring it, if you should be of the truthful.”
فَأَلۡقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ ثُعۡبَانٞ مُّبِينٞ
Fa alqaa ‘asaahu fa izaaa hiya su’baanum mubeen
So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest.
وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِيَ بَيۡضَآءُ لِلنَّـٰظِرِينَ
Wa naza’a yadahoo faizaa hiya baidaaa’u linnaa zireen (section 2)
And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white for the observers.
قَالَ لِلۡمَلَإِ حَوۡلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٞ
Qaala lilmala-i hawlahooo inna haazaa lasaahirun ‘aleem
[Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, “Indeed, this is a learned magician.
يُرِيدُ أَن يُخۡرِجَكُم مِّنۡ أَرۡضِكُم بِسِحۡرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأۡمُرُونَ
Yureedu ai yukhrijakum min ardikum bisihrihee famaazaa taamuroon
He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise?”
قَالُوٓاْ أَرۡجِهۡ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبۡعَثۡ فِي ٱلۡمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ
Qaalooo arjih wa akhaahu wab’as filmadaaa’ini haashireen
They said, “Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers
يَأۡتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٖ
Yaatooka bikulli sah haarin ‘aleem
Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician.”
فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَٰتِ يَوۡمٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ
Fa jumi’as saharatu limeeqaati Yawmim ma’loom
So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day.
وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّجۡتَمِعُونَ
Wa qeela linnaasi hal antum mujtami’oon
And it was said to the people, “Will you congregate
لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ
La’allanaa nattabi’us saharata in kaanoo humul ghaalibeen
That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?”
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُواْ لِفِرۡعَوۡنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجۡرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحۡنُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ
Falammaa jaaa’as saharatu qaaloo li Fir’awna a’inna lanaa la ajjran in kunnaa nahnul ghaalibeen
And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, “Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant?”
قَالَ نَعَمۡ وَإِنَّكُمۡ إِذٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِينَ
Qaala na’am wa innakum izal laminal muqarrabeen
He said, “Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me].”
قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلۡقُواْ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلۡقُونَ
Qaala lahum Moosaaa alqoo maaa antum mulqoon
Moses said to them, “Throw whatever you will throw.”
فَأَلۡقَوۡاْ حِبَالَهُمۡ وَعِصِيَّهُمۡ وَقَالُواْ بِعِزَّةِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ
Fa alqaw hibaalahum wa ‘isiyyahum wa qaaloo bi’izzati Fir’awna innaa lanahnul ghaaliboon
So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, “By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant.”
فَأَلۡقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلۡقَفُ مَا يَأۡفِكُونَ
Fa alqaa Moosaa ‘asaahu fa izaa hiya talqafu maa yaafikoon
Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified.
فَأُلۡقِيَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَٰجِدِينَ
Fa ulqiyas saharatu saajideen
So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah].
قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
Qaalooo aamannaa bi Rabbil ‘aalameen
They said, “We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,
رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ
Rabbi Moosaa wa Haaroon
The Lord of Moses and Aaron.”
قَالَ ءَامَنتُمۡ لَهُۥ قَبۡلَ أَنۡ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحۡرَ فَلَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيۡدِيَكُمۡ وَأَرۡجُلَكُم مِّنۡ خِلَٰفٖ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ
Qaala aamantum lahoo qabla an aazana lakum innahoo lakabeerukumul lazee ‘alla makumus sihra falasawfa ta’lamoon; la uqatti’anna aidiyakum wa arjulakum min khilaafinw wa la usallibanna kum ajma’een
[Pharaoh] said, “You believed Moses before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic, but you are going to know. I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all.”
قَالُواْ لَا ضَيۡرَۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ
Qaaloo la daira innaaa ilaa Rabbinaa munqalliboon
They said, “No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return.
إِنَّا نَطۡمَعُ أَن يَغۡفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَٰيَٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
Innaa natma’u ai yaghfira lanaa Rabbunaa khataa yaanaaa an kunnaaa awwalal mu’mineen (section 3)
Indeed, we aspire that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we were the first of the believers.”
۞وَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنۡ أَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِيٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ
Wa awhainaaa ilaa Moosaaa an asri bi’ibaadeee innakum muttaba’oon
And We inspired to Moses, “Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued.”
فَأَرۡسَلَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ فِي ٱلۡمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ
Fa arsala Fir’awnu filmadaaa’ini haashireen
Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers
إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرۡذِمَةٞ قَلِيلُونَ
Inna haaa’ulaaa’i lashir zimatun qaleeloon
[And said], “Indeed, those are but a small band,
وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ
Wa innahum lanaa laghaaa’izoon
And indeed, they are enraging us,
وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَٰذِرُونَ
Wa innaa lajamee’un haaziroon
And indeed, we are a cautious society… “
فَأَخۡرَجۡنَٰهُم مِّن جَنَّـٰتٖ وَعُيُونٖ
Fa akhrajnaahum min Jannaatinw wa ‘uyoon
So We removed them from gardens and springs
وَكُنُوزٖ وَمَقَامٖ كَرِيمٖ
Wa kunoozinw wa ma qaamin kareem
And treasures and honorable station –
كَذَٰلِكَۖ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَٰهَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَـٰٓءِيلَ
Kazaalika wa awrasnaahaa Baneee Israaa’eel
Thus. And We caused to inherit it the Children of Israel.
فَأَتۡبَعُوهُم مُّشۡرِقِينَ
Fa atba’oohum mushriqeen
So they pursued them at sunrise.
فَلَمَّا تَرَـٰٓءَا ٱلۡجَمۡعَانِ قَالَ أَصۡحَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدۡرَكُونَ
Falammaa taraaa’al jam’aani qaala as haabu Moosaaa innaa lamudrakoon
And when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Moses said, “Indeed, we are to be overtaken!”
قَالَ كَلَّآۖ إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ
Qaala kallaaa inna ma’iya Rabbee sa yahdeen
[Moses] said, “No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me.”
فَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضۡرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرۡقٖ كَٱلطَّوۡدِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ
Fa awhainaaa ilaa Moosaaa anidrib bi’asaakal bahra fanfalaqa fakaana kullu firqin kattawdil ‘azeem
Then We inspired to Moses, “Strike with your staff the sea,” and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain.
وَأَزۡلَفۡنَا ثَمَّ ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ
Wa azlafnaa sammal aakhareen
And We advanced thereto the pursuers.
وَأَنجَيۡنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ
Wa anjainaa Moosaa wa mam ma’ahooo ajma’een
And We saved Moses and those with him, all together.
ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ
Summa aghraqnal aakhareen
Then We drowned the others.
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ
Inna fee zaalika la Aayaah; wa maa kaana aksaru hu mu’mineen
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Wa inna Rabbaka la Huwal ‘Azeezur Raheem (section 4)
And indeed, your Lord – He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
وَٱتۡلُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ نَبَأَ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

فَلَا تَدۡعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُعَذَّبِينَ
Falaa tad’u ma’al laahi ilaahan aakhara fatakoona minal mu’azzabeen
So do not invoke with Allah another deity and [thus] be among the punished.
وَأَنذِرۡ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلۡأَقۡرَبِينَ
Wa anzir ‘asheeratakal aqrabeen
And warn, [O Muhammad], your closest kindred.
وَٱخۡفِضۡ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
Wakhfid janaahaka limanit taba ‘aka minal mu’mineen
And lower your wing to those who follow you of the believers.
فَإِنۡ عَصَوۡكَ فَقُلۡ إِنِّي بَرِيٓءٞ مِّمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ
Fa in asawka faqul innee bareee’um mimmmaa ta’maloon
And if they disobey you, then say, “Indeed, I am disassociated from what you are doing.”
وَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Wa tawakkal alal ‘Azeezir Raheem
And rely upon the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,
ٱلَّذِي يَرَىٰكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ
Allazee yaraaka heena taqoom
Who sees you when you arise
وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِي ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ
Wa taqallubaka fis saajideen
And your movement among those who prostrate.
إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ
Innahoo Huwas Samee’ul ‘Aleem
Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
هَلۡ أُنَبِّئُكُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ
Hal unabbi’ukum ‘alaa man tanazzalush Shayaateen
Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?
تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٖ
Tanazzalu ‘alaa kulli affaakin aseem
They descend upon every sinful liar.
يُلۡقُونَ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَأَكۡثَرُهُمۡ كَٰذِبُونَ
Yulqoonas sam’a wa aksaruhum kaaziboon
They pass on what is heard, and most of them are liars.
وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلۡغَاوُۥنَ
Washshu ‘araaa’u yattabi ‘uhumul ghaawoon
And the poets – [only] the deviators follow them;
أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّهُمۡ فِي كُلِّ وَادٖ يَهِيمُونَ
Alam tara annahum fee kulli waadiny yaheemoon
Do you not see that in every valley they roam
وَأَنَّهُمۡ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفۡعَلُونَ
Wa annahum yaqooloona ma laa yaf’aloon
And that they say what they do not do? –
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَٰتِ وَذَكَرُواْ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرٗا وَٱنتَصَرُواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا ظُلِمُواْۗ وَسَيَعۡلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓاْ أَيَّ مُنقَلَبٖ يَنقَلِبُونَ
Illal lazeena aamanoo wa ‘amilus saalihaati wa zakarul laaha kaseeranw wantasaroo min ba’di maa zulimoo; wa saya’lamul lazeena zalamooo aiya munqalabiny yanqaliboon (section 11)
Except those [poets] who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allah often and defend [the Muslims] after they were wronged. And those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned.
