فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَثَمُودَ
˹the forces of˺ Pharaoh and Thamûd?
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فِي تَكۡذِيبٖ
Yet the disbelievers ˹still˺ persist in denial.
وَٱللَّهُ مِن وَرَآئِهِم مُّحِيطُۢ
But Allah encompasses them from all sides.
بَلۡ هُوَ قُرۡءَانٞ مَّجِيدٞ
In fact, this is a glorious Quran,
فِي لَوۡحٖ مَّحۡفُوظِۭ
˹recorded˺ in a Preserved Tablet.
