Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin
Then man will have no power or any helper

Waalssamai thati alrrajʿi
By the sky which returns [rain]
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدۡعِ ﴿١٢﴾
Waalardi thati alssadʿi
And [by] the earth which cracks open
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلٞ فَصۡلٞ ﴿١٣﴾
Innahu laqawlun faslun
Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلۡهَزۡلِ ﴿١٤﴾
