عَلىٰ صِراطٍ مُستَقيمٍ
On a straight path.
تَنزيلَ العَزيزِ الرَّحيمِ
The revelation of the Almighty, the Merciful.
لِتُنذِرَ قَومًا ما أُنذِرَ آباؤُهُم فَهُم غافِلونَ
To warn a people whose forefathers weren’t warned, thus they are unaware.
لَقَد حَقَّ القَولُ عَلىٰ أَكثَرِهِم فَهُم لا يُؤمِنونَ
The word has been justified against most of them, for they don’t believe.
إِنّا جَعَلنا في أَعناقِهِم أَغلالًا فَهِيَ إِلَى الأَذقانِ فَهُم مُقمَحونَ
We placed shackles around their necks, up to their chins, so their heads are forcibly raised.
