15 So I swear by the retreating stars -

15 So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night).

26 So where are you going?

26 Then where are you going?

27 It is not except a reminder to the worlds

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

28 For whoever wills among you to take a right course.

28 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight.

29 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds.

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