wase-a’ kursiyyohus samaawaate wal arza,
His Throne comprises the heavens and the earth;

laaa ikraaha fid deeni qat tabiyanar rushdu minal ghayy;
"No compulsion is there in religion. Indeed truth has become clear from error.
فَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِالطَّاغُوتِ وَيُؤْمِن بِاللهِ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَىٰ لَا انفِصَامَ لَهَا

And the unbelievers – their guardians are the false gods
يُخْرِجُونَهُم مِّنَ النُّورِ إِلَى الظُّلُمَاتِ
yukhrijoonahum minan noori ilaz zulumaat;
who take them out of the light into darkness;
أُولَـٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ
ulaaa'ika Ashaabun Naari hum feehaa khaalidoon
those are the inhabitants of the Fire, they shall abide therein forever.” (2:257)
