Indeed, We are sufficient for you against the mockers
إِنَّا كَفَيْنَٰكَ ٱلْمُسْتَهْزِءِينَ
Those who set up another god with Allah; so they shall soon know.
Who make [equal] with Allah another deity. But they are going to know.
ٱلَّذِينَ يَجْعَلُونَ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
And surely We know that your breast straitens at what they say;
And We already know that your breast is constrained by what they say.
وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ يَضِيقُ صَدْرُكَ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ
Therefore celebrate the praise of your Lord, and be of those who make obeisance.
So exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord and be of those who prostrate [to Him].
فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُن مِّنَ ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ
And serve your Lord until there comes to you that which is certain.
And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certainty (death).
وَٱعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَكَ ٱلْيَقِينُ
