وَمَامِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ
There is not one of us but hath his known position.
وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ
Lo! we, even we are they who set the ranks,
وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحُونَ
Lo! we, even we are they who hymn His praise
وَإِن كَانُواْ لَيَقُولُونَ
And indeed they used to say:
لَوۡ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكۡرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
If we had but a reminder from the men of old
لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ
We would be single-minded slaves of Allah.
فَكَفَرُواْ بِهِۦۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ
Yet (now that it is come) they disbelieve therein; but they will come to know.
وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
And verily Our word went forth of old unto Our bondmen sent (to warn)
إِنَّهُمۡ لَهُمُ ٱلۡمَنصُورُونَ
That they verily would be helped,
وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ
And that Our host, they verily would be the victors.
