(நபியே!) நாம் எவ்வாறு அவர்களில் சிலரைச் சிலரைவிட (இம்மையில்) மேன்மைப்படுத்தி இருக்கிறோம் என்பதை நீர் கவனிப்பீராக! எனினும் மறுமை (வாழ்க்கை) பதவிகளிலும் மிகப் பெரியது, மேன்மையிலும் மிகப் பெரியதாகும்.

ඔවුන්ගෙන් ඇතැමෙකුව ඇතැමෙකුට වඩා අපි උසස් කළේ කෙසේ දැ? යි නුඹ අධීක්ෂණය කරනු. තවද මතුලොව තරාතිරම්වලින් අතිමහත් ය. එමෙන් ම මහිමයට පත් කිරීමෙන් ද අතිමහත් ය.
