7 When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like);

19 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger,

19 Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareemin

20 Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne,

20 Thee quwwatin AAinda thee alAAarshi makeenin

21 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust.

21 MutaAAin thamma ameenin

22 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed;

22 Wama sahibukum bimajnoonin

23 And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon.

23 Walaqad raahu bialofuqi almubeeni

24 Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen.

24 Wama huwa AAala alghaybi bidaneenin

25 Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed.

25 Wama huwa biqawli shaytanin rajeemin

26 When whither go ye?

26 Faayna tathhaboona

27 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds:

27 In huwa illa thikrun lilAAalameena

28 (With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight:

28 Liman shaa minkum an yastaqeema

29 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills, - the Cherisher of the Worlds.

29 Wama tashaoona illa an yashaa Allahu rabbu alAAalameena
