Walā taj'alū ma'allāhi ilāhan ākhara innī lakum minhu nadhīrum mubīn

Atawāsaw bihī bal hum qawmun tāghūn

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِمَلُومٖ ٥٤

Fatawalla 'anhum famā anta bimalūm

So leave them, [O Muḥammad], for you are not to be blamed.

Innallāha huwar-razzāqu dhul-quwwatil-matīn

Indeed, it is Allāh who is the [continual] Provider,¹⁵⁴⁸ the firm possessor of strength.

فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ ذَنُوبٗا مِّثۡلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصۡحَٰبِهِمۡ فَلَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونِ ٥٩

Fa inna lilladhīna zalamū dhanūbam mithla dhanūbi ashābihim falā yasta'jilūn

And indeed, for those who have wronged is a portion [of punishment] like the portion of their companions [i.e., predecessors], so let them not impatiently urge Me.

فَوَيۡلٞ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن يَوۡمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ ٦٠

Fawaylul lilladhīna kafarū min yawmihimul-ladhī yū'adūn
