سورة القلم، الآية ٤٥
وَأُمْلِى لَهُمْ إِنَّ كَيْدِى مَتِينٌ ٤٥
wa-um'lī lahum inna kaydī matīnun
And I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm.
Verse 45 of Surah Al-Qalam (68:45), a Meccan surah, is in juz 29, on page 566 of the mushaf. Read it in Arabic with its transliteration, translations and tafsir, and listen to it recited by 74 reciters.
80 recitations by 74 reciters: pick one and it plays in the player.
And I give them respite for a short while so that they go to extremes in their sin. Indeed, My plan regarding the people of disbelief and rejection is firm; they will not escape Me nor be safe from My punishment.
I will give them respite, but My plan is firm.
And I will grant them a respite. Verily, My Plan is strong.
Yet I bear with them, for lo! My scheme is firm.
A (long) respite will I grant them: truly powerful is My Plan.
And I do bear with them, surely My plan is firm.
And I will reprieve them. Surely My plotting is ever-pervading.
وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَآ أَخَذَ ٱلْقُرَىٰ وَهِىَ ظَٰلِمَةٌ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُۥٓ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ
And thus is the seizure of your Lord when He seizes the cities while they are committing wrong. Indeed, His seizure is painful and severe.
They share a sequence of words with this verse: useful for telling them apart when memorising.
وَأُمْلِى لَهُمْ إِنَّ كَيْدِى مَتِينٌ
And I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm.
