إِلّا عِبادَ اللَّهِ المُخلَصينَ

Except the chosen servants of Allah [who do not share in that sin].

فَإِنَّكُم وَما تَعبُدونَ

So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship,

ما أَنتُم عَلَيهِ بِفاتِنينَ

You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him

إِلّا مَن هُوَ صالِ الجَحيمِ

Except he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire.

وَما مِنّا إِلّا لَهُ مَقامٌ مَعلومٌ

[The angels say], "There is not among us any except that he has a known position.

وَإِنّا لَنَحنُ المُسَبِّحونَ

And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah."

وَإِن كانوا لَيَقولونَ

And indeed, the disbelievers used to say,

لَو أَنَّ عِندَنا ذِكرًا مِنَ الأَوَّلينَ

"If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples,

لَكُنّا عِبادَ اللَّهِ المُخلَصينَ

We would have been the chosen servants of Allah."

فَكَفَروا بِهِ ۖ فَسَوفَ يَعلَمونَ

But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know.
