Surely He it is Who originates and reproduces, (13)

And He is the Forgiving, the Loving, (14)

Lord of the Arsh, the Glorious, (15)

The great doer of what He will (16)

Has not there come to you the story of the hosts, (17)

Of Firon and Samood? (18)

Nay! those who disbelieve are in (the act of) giving the lie to the truth (19)

And Allah encompasses them on every side (20)

Nay! it is a glorious Quran, (21)

In a guarded tablet (22)
