Indeed, We have made it an Arabic Qur'an that you might understand.

And indeed it is, in the Mother of the Book with Us, exalted and full of wisdom.

— Saheeh International

Wainnahu fee ommi alkitabi ladayna laAAaliyyun hakeemun

Then should We turn the message away, disregarding you, because you are a transgressing people?

— Transliteration

And indeed we, to our Lord, will [surely] return."

So is one brought up in ornaments while being during conflict unevident [attributed to Allah]?

— Saheeh International

Awaman yunashshao fee alhilyati wahuwa fee alkhisami ghayru mubeenin

— Transliteration

And they have made the angels, who are servants of the Most Merciful, females. Did they witness their creation? Their testimony will be recorded, and they will be questioned.

— Saheeh International

Waqaloo lawla nuzzila hatha alquranu AAala rajulin mina alqaryatayni AAa<i>th</i>eemun

— Transliteration

Do they distribute the mercy of your Lord? It is We who have apportioned among them their livelihood in the life of this world and have raised some of them above others in degrees [of rank] that they may make use of one another for service. But the mercy of your Lord is better than whatever they accumulate.

— Saheeh International

Ahum yaqsimoona rahmata rabbika nahnu qasamna baynahum maAAeeshatahum fee alhayati alddunya warafaAAna baAAdahum fawqa baAAdin darajatin liyattakhitha baAAduhum baAAdan sukhriyyan warahmatu rabbika khayrun mimma yajmaAAoona
