وَأَنَّ إِلىٰ رَبِّكَ المُنتَهىٰ

And that to your Lord is the finality

وَأَنَّهُ هُوَ أَضحَكَ وَأَبكىٰ

And that it is He who makes [one] laugh and weep

وَأَنَّهُ هُوَ أَماتَ وَأَحيا

And that it is He who causes death and gives life

وَأَنَّهُ خَلَقَ الزَّوجَينِ الذَّكَرَ وَالأُنثىٰ

And that He creates the two mates - the male and female -

مِن نُطفَةٍ إِذا تُمنىٰ

From a sperm-drop when it is emitted

وَأَنَّهُ هُوَ أَغنىٰ وَأَقنىٰ

And that it is He who enriches and suffices

وَأَنَّهُ هُوَ رَبُّ الشِّعرىٰ

And that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius

وَأَنَّهُ أَهلَكَ عادًا الأولىٰ

And that He destroyed the first [people of] 'Aad

وَثَمودَ فَما أَبقىٰ

And Thamud - and He did not spare [them] -

وَقَومَ نوحٍ مِن قَبلُ ۖ إِنَّهُم كانوا هُم أَظلَمَ وَأَطغىٰ

And the people of Noah before. Indeed, it was they who were [even] more unjust and oppressing.
