شَهِدَ Bears witness shahida Allah l-lahu that [He] annahu (there is) no lā god ilāha except illā Him huwa and (so do) the Angels wal-malāikatu and owners wa-ulū (of) [the] knowledge l-ʿil'mi standing qāiman in justice bil-qis'ṭi (There is) no lā god ilāha except illā Him huwa the All-Mighty l-ʿazīzu the All-Wise l-ḥakīmu
Allāh witnesses that there is no deity except Him, and [so do] the angels and those of knowledge - [that He is] maintaining [creation] in justice. There is no deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
إِنَّ Indeed inna the religion l-dīna near ʿinda Allah l-lahi (is) Islam l-is'lāmu And not wamā differed ikh'talafa those who alladhīna were given ūtū the Book l-kitāba except illā from min after baʿdi [what] mā came to them jāahumu [the] knowledge l-ʿil'mu out of envy baghyan among them baynahum And whoever waman disbelieves yakfur in (the) Verses biāyāti (of) Allah l-lahi then indeed fa-inna Allah l-laha (is) swift sarīʿu (in taking) account l-ḥisābi
Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allāh is Islām. And those who were given the Scripture did not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And whoever disbelieves in the verses of Allāh, then indeed, Allāh is swift in [taking] account.
فَإِنْ Then if fa-in they argue with you ḥājjūka then say faqul I have submitted aslamtu myself wajhiya to Allah lillahi and (those) who wamani follow me ittabaʿani And say waqul to those who lilladhīna were given ūtū the Book l-kitāba and the unlettered people wal-umiyīna Have you submitted yourselves a-aslamtum Then if fa-in they submit aslamū then surely faqadi they are guided ih'tadaw But if wa-in they turn back tawallaw then only fa-innamā on you ʿalayka (is) to [the] convey l-balāghu And Allah wal-lahu (is) All-Seer baṣīrun of [His] slaves bil-ʿibādi
So if they argue with you, say, "I have submitted myself to Allāh [in Islām], and [so have] those who follow me." And say to those who were given the Scripture and [to] the unlearned, "Have you submitted yourselves?" And if they submit [in Islām], they are rightly guided; but if they turn away - then upon you is only the [duty of] notification. And Allāh is Seeing of [His] servants.
