| ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِنْدَ ذِي الْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ {٢٠} |
20. The possessor of power and high rank with the Lord of the Throne, |
| مُطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ {٢١} |

| وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ {٢٤} |
24. Nor is he a tenacious concealer of the unseen. |
| وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَانٍ رَجِيمٍ {٢٥} |
25. Nor is it the word of the cursed Satan, |
| فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ {٢٦} |
26. Whither then will you go? |
| إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِلْعَالَمِينَ {٢٧} |
27. It is naught but a reminder unto all creation (or all the worlds), |
| لِمَنْ شَاءَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَسْتَقِيمَ {٢٨} |
28. For him among you who wills to go straight. |
| وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ {٢٩} |
29. And you will not, unless Allah wills, the Lord (or Cherisher) of Creation (or all the Worlds). |
