الْجَبَلَ
فَوْقَهُمْ

وَاقِعٌ
بِهِمْ
خُذُوا
مَا
آتَيْنَاكُم
بِقُوَّةٍ
وَاذْكُرُوا
مَا
فِيهِ
لَعَلَّكُمْ
تَتَّقُونَ

When We plucked the mountain [and held it] above them as if it were a canopy (and they thought it was about to fall on them): ‘Hold on with power to what We have given you and remember that which is in it, so that you may be Godwary.’
— Ali Quli Qarai
When We shook the Mount over them, as if it had been a canopy, and they thought it was going to fall on them (We said): "Hold firmly to what We have given you, and bring (ever) to remembrance what is therein; perchance ye may fear Allah."
