Wainna rabbaka layaAAlamu ma tukinnu sudooruhum wama yuAAlinoona

Wa 'Inna Rabbaka Laya`lamu Mā Tukinnu Şudūruhum Wa Mā Yu`linūna

Wa Yawma Yunfakhu Fī Aş-Şūri Fafazi`a Man Fī As-Samāwāti Wa Man Fī Al-'Arđi 'Illā Man Shā'a Allāhu Wa Kullun 'Atawhu Dākhirīna

You see the mountains, which you suppose, to be stationary, while they drift like passing clouds—the handiwork of Allah who has made everything faultless. He is indeed well aware of what you do

Man jaa bialhasanati falahu khayrun minha wahum min fazaAAin yawmaithin aminoona

Man Jā'a Bil-Ĥasanati Falahu Khayrun Minhā Wa Hum Min Faza`in Yawma'idhin 'Āminūna

Wa Man Jā'a Bis-Sayyi'ati Fakubbat Wujūhuhum Fī An-Nāri Hal Tujzawna 'Illā Mā Kuntum Ta`malūna

But whoever brings vice—they shall be cast on their faces into the Fire [and told:] ‘Shall you not be requited for what you used to do?’

Innamā 'Umirtu 'An 'A`buda Rabba Hadhihi Al-Baldati Al-Ladhī Ĥarramahā Wa Lahu Kullu Shay'in Wa 'Umirtu 'An 'Akūna Mina Al-Muslimīna

[Say], ‘I have been commanded to worship the Lord of this city who has made it inviolable and to whom all things belong, and I have been commanded to be among those who submit [to Allah]

Waan atluwa alqurana famani ihtada fainnama yahtadee linafsihi waman dalla faqul innama ana mina almunthireena

Wa 'An 'Atluwa Al-Qur'āna Famani Ahtadá Fa'innamā Yahtadī Linafsihi Wa Man Đalla Faqul 'Innamā 'Anā Mina Al-Mundhirīna

Waquli alhamdu lillahi sayureekum ayatihi fataAArifoonaha wama rabbuka bighafilin AAamma taAAmaloona

Wa Quli Al-Ĥamdu Lillāhi Sayurīkum 'Āyātihi Fata`rifūnahā Wa Mā Rabbuka Bighāfilin `Ammā Ta`malūna
