ما أَنزَلنا عَلَيكَ القُرآنَ لِتَشقىٰ

We have not sent down to you the Qur'an that you be distressed

إِلّا تَذكِرَةً لِمَن يَخشىٰ

But only as a reminder for those who fear [Allah] -

تَنزيلًا مِمَّن خَلَقَ الأَرضَ وَالسَّماواتِ العُلَى

A revelation from He who created the earth and highest heavens,

الرَّحمـٰنُ عَلَى العَرشِ استَوىٰ

The Most Merciful [who is] above the Throne established.

لَهُ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَما فِي الأَرضِ وَما بَينَهُما وَما تَحتَ الثَّرىٰ

To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth and what is between them and what is under the soil.
