Say: Lo! my worship and my sacrifice and my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the Worlds.

Say: "Truly, my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death, are (all) for Allah, the Cherisher of the Worlds:

Say. Surely my prayer and my sacrifice and my life and my death are (all) for Allah, the Lord of the worlds;

Say, "Surely my prayer, and my rites, and my living, and my dying are for Allah, The Lord of the worlds."
