And to Allâh belongs the Ghaib (Unseen) of the heavens and the earth, and to Him return all affairs (for decision). So worship Him (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) and put your trust in Him. And your Lord is not unaware of what you (people) do.
وَلِلَّهِ walillahi And for Allah
غَيْبُ ghaybu (is the) unseen
ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ l-samāwāti (of) the heavens
وَٱلْأَرْضِ wal-arḍi and the earth
وَإِلَيْهِ wa-ilayhi and to Him
يُرْجَعُ yur'jaʿu will be returned
ٱلْأَمْرُ l-amru the matter
كُلُّهُۥ kulluhu all (of) it
فَٱعْبُدْهُ fa-uʿ'bud'hu so worship Him
وَتَوَكَّلْ watawakkal and put your trust
عَلَيْهِ ۚ ʿalayhi upon Him
وَمَا wamā And your Lord is not
رَبُّكَ rabbuka And your Lord is not
بِغَـٰفِلٍ bighāfilin unaware
عَمَّا ʿammā of what
تَعْمَلُونَ taʿmalūna you do
