تَكَادُ
السَّمَاوَاتُ
يَتَفَطَّرْنَ
مِن
فَوْقِهِنَّ
وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ
يُسَبِّحُونَ
بِحَمْدِ
رَبِّهِمْ
وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ
لِمَن
فِي
الْأَرْضِ
أَلَا
إِنَّ
اللَّهَ
هُوَ
الْغَفُورُ
الرَّحِيمُ
takādu s-samāwātu yatafaṭṭarna min fawqihinna wa-l-malāʾikatu yusabbiḥūna bi-ḥamdi rabbihim wa-yastaghfirūna li-man fī l-ʾarḍi ʾa-lā ʾinna llāha huwa l-ghafūru r-raḥīmu
The heavens are almost rent asunder from above them (by Him Glory): and the angels celebrate the Praises of their Lord, and pray for forgiveness for (all) beings on earth: Behold! Verily Allah is He, the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
— Abdullah Yusufali
The heavens are about to be rent apart from above them, while the angels celebrate the praise of their Lord and plead for forgiveness for those [faithful] who are on the earth. Indeed, Allah is the All-forgiving, the All-merciful!
