The Quran
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Bismi Allahi alrrahmani alrraheemi
Smiling Allah the caring the next of kin
الحمد الله رب العلمين
Alhamdu lillahi rabbi alAAalameena
the praised Allah possessing the knowledge
الرحمن الرحيم
Alrrahmani alrraheemi
the caring, the next of kin
ملك يوم الدين
Maliki yawmi alddeeni
owning times of passing
اياك نعبد و اياك نستعين
Iyyaka naAAbudu wa-iyyaka nastaAAeenu
numerously we obey and numerously people individualize
اهدنا الصرط المستقيم
Ihdina alssirata almustaqeema
delusional is the way of the superficial (actual wording is silver-coated)
صرط الذين انعمت عليهم غير المغضوب عليهم ولا الضالين
Sirata allatheena anAAamta AAalayhim ghayri almaghdoobi AAalayhim wala alddalleena
way of pleasure is leading a pleasant life - our nobility feeding the sick, our nobility and not the despicable
"Alathee" is a word which occurs throughout the quran. I consistently translate it to "delightful". Here it is in the lexicon.
قل يايها الكفرون
Qul ya ayyuha alkafiroona
Few show kindness to the veiled
لا اعبد ما تعبدون
La aAAbudu ma taAAbudoona
Not withholding which she withholds
ولا انتم عبدون ما اعبد
Wala antum AAabidoona ma aAAbudu
And not deserved by withholder which withholds
ولا انا عابد ما عبدتم
Wala ana AAabidun ma AAabadtum
And not are complaints withheld by which withholds
ولا انتم عبدون ما اعبد
Wala antum AAabidoona ma aAAbudu
and not deserved by withholder which withholds
لكم دينكم و ليدين
Lakum deenukum waliyadeeni
Hurts your way and an elegant way it is
Note that the veil is intended as a reminder. To behave properly.
اذا جا نصر الله و الفتح
Itha jaa nasru Allahi waalfathu
When breasts serve Allah and the disclosure
ورايت الناس يدخلون فى دين الله افواجا
Waraayta alnnasa yadkhuloona fee deeni Allahi afwajan
and consider the people entering then obedience of Allah in crowds
فسبح بحمد ربك واستغفره انه كان توابا
Fasabbih bihamdi rabbika waistaghfirhu innahu kana tawwaban
then go with praises seeker and be forgiven being strong in repenting
“be forgiven” comes from “istaghfirhu” which means: “make use of forgiveness”. Usually muslims ask Allah for forgiveness, but the word itself does not necessarily imply a required action of the reader. The word “go” in line three comes from “sebbih” which actually means “act according to your own judgement”. “Fathu” means “informing, teaching, acquainting”.
