Except Allah’s chosen servants, as they do not describe Allah except with the qualities of majesty and perfection which are befitting for Him.
But not the chosen slaves of Allah38.
[38] Who do not ascribe to Allah such false claims.
Except the slaves of Allâh, whom He chooses (for His Mercy i.e. true believers of Islâmic Monotheism who do not attribute false things unto Allâh).
Save single-minded slaves of Allah.
Not (so do) the Servants of Allah, sincere and devoted.
But not so the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
Except (for) the most faithful bondmen of Allah.
