Thumma laqataAAna minhu alwateena

فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنۡ أَحَدٍ عَنۡهُ حَٰجِزِينَ

And there is no one of you who could prevent [Us] from him

Fama minkum min ahadin AAanhu hajizeena

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَذۡكِرَةٞ لِّلۡمُتَّقِينَ

And indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder for the righteous

Wainnahu latathkiratun lilmuttaqeena

وَإِنَّا لَنَعۡلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِينَ

And indeed, We know that among you are deniers

Wainna lanaAAlamu anna minkum mukaththibeena

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَسۡرَةٌ عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

And indeed, it will be [a cause of] regret upon the disbelievers

Wainnahu lahasratun AAala alkafireena

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَقُّ ٱلۡيَقِينِ

And indeed, it is the truth of certainty

Wainnahu lahaqqu alyaqeeni

فَسَبِّحۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great

Fasabbih biismi rabbika alAAatheemi
