We surely know those of you who have gone before and those who are yet to come.

And indeed, We know the first generations of you who had passed away, and indeed, We know the present generations of you (mankind), and also those who will come afterwards.

And verily We know the eager among you and verily We know the laggards.

To Us are known those of you who hasten forward, and those who lag behind.

And certainly We know those of you who have gone before and We certainly know those who shall come later.

And indeed We already know the ones of you who can go forward, and indeed We already know the ones who can postpone.
