And We did certainly create the heavens and earth and what is between them in six days, and there touched Us no weariness.
So be patient, [O Muḥammad], over what they say and exalt [Allāh] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting,
And [in part] of the night exalt Him and after prostration [i.e., prayer].
And listen on the Day when the Caller will call out from a place that is near -
The Day they will hear the blast [of the Horn] in truth. That is the Day of Emergence [from the graves].

By the [winds] scattering [dust], dispersing [it]
And the [clouds] carrying a load [of water]
And the ships sailing with ease
And the [angels] apportioning [each] matter,
Indeed, what you are promised is true.
And indeed, the recompense is to occur.
