وَمَا
كَانَ
لِنَفْسٍ
أَن
تَمُوتَ
إِلَّا
بِإِذْنِ
اللَّهِ
كِتَابًا
مُّؤَجَّلًا
وَمَن
يُرِدْ
ثَوَابَ
الدُّنْيَا
نُؤْتِهِ
مِنْهَا
وَمَن
يُرِدْ
ثَوَابَ
الْآخِرَةِ
نُؤْتِهِ
مِنْهَا
وَسَنَجْزِي
الشَّاكِرِينَ
wa-mā kāna li-nafsin ʾan tamūta ʾillā bi-ʾidhni llāhi kitāban muʾajjalan wa-man yurid thawāba d-dunyā nuʾtihī minhā wa-man yurid thawāba l-ʾākhirati nuʾtihī minhā wa-sa-najzī sh-shākirīna
No soul may die except by Allah’s leave, at an appointed time. Whoever desires the reward of this world, We will give him of it; and whoever desires the reward of the Hereafter, We will give him of it; and soon We will reward the grateful.
— Ali Quli Qarai
Nor can a soul die except by Allah's leave, the term being fixed as by writing. If any do desire a reward in this life, We shall give it to him; and if any do desire a reward in the Hereafter, We shall give it to him. And swiftly shall We reward those that (serve us with) gratitude.
