يَدَكَ
لِتَقْتُلَنِي
مَا
أَنَا
بِبَاسِطٍ
يَدِيَ
إِلَيْكَ
لِأَقْتُلَكَ
إِنِّي
أَخَافُ
اللَّهَ
رَبَّ
الْعَالَمِينَ

"If thou dost stretch thy hand against me, to slay me, it is not for me to stretch my hand against thee to slay thee: for I do fear Allah, the cherisher of the worlds.
— Abdullah Yusufali
Even if you extend your hand toward me to kill me, I will not extend my hand toward you to kill you. Indeed, I fear Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.
