26. Shuara · verses 75–82

قَالَ أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡبُدُونَ

Qala afaraaytum ma kuntum taAAbudoona

He said: "Do ye then see whom ye have been worshipping,-

أَنتُمۡ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلۡأَقۡدَمُونَ

Antum waabaokumu alaqdamoona

"Ye and your fathers before you?-

فَإِنَّهُمۡ عَدُوّٞ لِّيٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

Fainnahum AAaduwwun lee illa rabba alAAalameena

"For they are enemies to me; not so the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds;

ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَنِي فَهُوَ يَهۡدِينِ

Allathee khalaqanee fahuwa yahdeeni

"Who created me, and it is He Who guides me;

وَٱلَّذِي هُوَ يُطۡعِمُنِي وَيَسۡقِينِ

Waallathee huwa yutAAimunee wayasqeeni

"Who gives me food and drink,

وَإِذَا مَرِضۡتُ فَهُوَ يَشۡفِينِ

Waitha maridtu fahuwa yashfeeni

"And when I am ill, it is He Who cures me;

وَٱلَّذِي يُمِيتُنِي ثُمَّ يُحۡيِينِ

Waallathee yumeetunee thumma yuhyeeni

"Who will cause me to die, and then to life (again);

وَٱلَّذِيٓ أَطۡمَعُ أَن يَغۡفِرَ لِي خَطِيٓـَٔتِي يَوۡمَ ٱلدِّينِ

Waallathee atmaAAu an yaghfira lee khateeatee yawma alddeeni

"And who, I hope, will forgive me my faults on the day of Judgment.
