اللَّهُ
الَّذِي
أَنزَلَ
الْكِتَابَ
بِالْحَقِّ
وَالْمِيزَانَ
وَمَا
يُدْرِيكَ
لَعَلَّ
السَّاعَةَ
قَرِيبٌ
allāhu lladhī ʾanzala l-kitāba bi-l-ḥaqqi wa-l-mīzāna wa-mā yudrīka laʿalla s-sāʿata qarībun
It is Allah who has sent down the Book with the truth and [He has sent down] the Balance. What do you know—maybe the Hour is near!
— Ali Quli Qarai
It is Allah Who has sent down the Book in Truth, and the Balance (by which to weigh conduct). And what will make thee realise that perhaps the Hour is close at hand?
