43. Zuhruf · verses 4–6

وَإِنَّهُۥ فِيٓ أُمِّ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَدَيۡنَا لَعَلِيٌّ حَكِيمٌ

Wainnahu fee ommi alkitabi ladayna laAAaliyyun hakeemun

And verily, it is in the Mother of the Book, in Our Presence, high (in dignity), full of wisdom.

أَفَنَضۡرِبُ عَنكُمُ ٱلذِّكۡرَ صَفۡحًا أَن كُنتُمۡ قَوۡمٗا مُّسۡرِفِينَ

Afanadribu AAankumu alththikra safhan an kuntum qawman musrifeena

Shall We then take away the Message from you and repel (you), for that ye are a people transgressing beyond bounds?

وَكَمۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن نَّبِيّٖ فِي ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

Wakam arsalna min nabiyyin fee alawwaleena

But how many were the prophets We sent amongst the peoples of old?
