Order of Revelation: 47فَلَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Falaw anna lana karratan fanakoona mina almu/mineena
Then if that we had a return, then we could be of the believers."
Would that we had a second chance [in life], so that we could be among the believers!"
"'Now if we only had a chance of return we shall truly be of those who believe!'"
Oh, that we had another turn (on earth), that we might be of the believers!
Now, if we could but once return, we would be believers.
Then if we only had a return [to the world] and could be of the believers... "
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
Inna fee thalika laayatan wama kana aktharuhum mu/mineena
Indeed, in that surely is a Sign, but not are most of them believers.
In all this, behold, there is a message [unto men], even though most of them will not believe [in it].
Verily in this is a Sign but most of them do not believe.
Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers!
Surely there is a sign in this; yet most of them believe not.
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ
Wa-inna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu
And indeed, your Lord, surely He (is) the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
But, verily, thy Sustainer - He alone - is almighty, a dispenser of grace!
And verily thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
And lo, thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.
And surely thy Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
Kaththabat qawmu noohin almursaleena

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
Ith qala lahum akhoohum noohun ala tattaqoona

إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ
