رَّبُّكُمْ
أَعْلَمُ
بِكُمْ
إِن
يَشَأْ
يَرْحَمْكُمْ
أَوْ
إِن
يَشَأْ
يُعَذِّبْكُمْ
وَمَا
أَرْسَلْنَاكَ
عَلَيْهِمْ
وَكِيلًا
rabbukum ʾaʿlamu bikum ʾin yashaʾ yarḥamkum ʾaw ʾin yashaʾ yuʿadhdhibkum wa-mā ʾarsalnāka ʿalayhim wakīlan
Your Lord knows you best. He will have mercy on you if He wishes, or punish you, if He wishes, and We did not send you to watch over them.
— Ali Quli Qarai
It is your Lord that knoweth you best: If He please, He granteth you mercy, or if He please, punishment: We have not sent thee to be a disposer of their affairs for them.
