19 Verily, this is the Word (this Qur'an brought by) a most honourable messenger [Jibril (Gabril), from Allah to Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم].

19 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger,

19 Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareemin

20 Owner of power, (and high rank) with (Allah), the Lord of the Throne,

20 Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne,

20 Thee quwwatin AAinda thee alAAarshi makeenin

21 Obeyed (by the angels in the heavens), and trustworthy.

21 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy;

24 Wama huwa AAala alghaybi bidaneenin

25 And it (the Qur'an) is not the word of the outcast Shaitan (Satan).

25 Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned.

25 Wama huwa biqawli shaytanin rajeemin

26 Then where are you going?

26 Whither then go ye ?

26 Faayna tathhaboona

27 Verily, this (the Qur'an) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinn)

27 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation,

27 In huwa illa thikrun lilAAalameena

28 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight.

28 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight.

28 Liman shaa minkum an yastaqeema

29 And you cannot will unless (it be) that Allah wills - the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).

29 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation.

29 Wama tashaoona illa an yashaa Allahu rabbu alAAalameena
