We wrote in the Psalms, as We did in [earlier] Scripture: ‘My righteous servants will inherit the earth.’
106

wamā arsalnāka illā raḥmatan lil'ʿālamīn
It was only as a mercy that We sent you [Prophet] to all people
108
قُلۡ إِنَّمَا یُوحَىٰۤ إِلَیَّ أَنَّمَاۤ إِلَـٰهُكُمۡ إِلَـٰهࣱ وَ ٰحِدࣱۖ فَهَلۡ أَنتُم مُّسۡلِمُونَ ١٠٨
qul innamā yūḥā ilayya annamā ilāhukum ilāhun wāḥidun fahal antum mus'limūn
Say, ‘What is revealed to me is that your God is one God- will you submit to Him?’
109
فَإِن تَوَلَّوۡا۟ فَقُلۡ ءَاذَنتُكُمۡ عَلَىٰ سَوَاۤءࣲۖ وَإِنۡ أَدۡرِیۤ أَقَرِیبٌ أَم بَعِیدࣱ مَّا تُوعَدُونَ ١٠٩
fa-in tawallaw faqul ādhantukum ʿalā sawāin wa-in adrī aqarībun am baʿīdun mā tūʿadūn
But if they turn away, say, ‘I have proclaimed the message fairly to you all. I do not know whether the judgement you are promised is near or far

innahu yaʿlamu l-jahra mina l-qawli wayaʿlamu mā taktumūn
but He knows what you reveal and conceal
111

wa-in adrī laʿallahu fit'natun lakum wamatāʿun ilā ḥīni
I do not know: this [time] may well be a test for you, and enjoyment for a while.’
112
قَـٰلَ رَبِّ ٱحۡكُم بِٱلۡحَقِّۗ وَرَبُّنَا ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنُ ٱلۡمُسۡتَعَانُ عَلَىٰ مَا تَصِفُونَ ١١٢
