அல்லாஹ் படைத்திருக்கும் பொருட்களில் அவர்கள் எதையுமே (உற்றுப்) பார்க்கவில்லையா? அவற்றின் நிழல்கள் வலமும், இடதுமாக (ஸுஜூது செய்தவையாகச்) சாய்கின்றன மேலும் அவை பணிந்து (கீழ்படிதலுடன் இவ்வாறு) அல்லாஹ் வழிபடுகின்றன.

අල්ලාහ් කවර දෙයක් මැව්වේ ද (ඒ) කිසිවක් දෙස ඔවුහු අවධානයෙන් නො බැලුවෝ ද? එහි සෙවණැල්ල දකුණතට හා වම්පැතිවලට නැඹුරු වී යටහත් පහත්ව අල්ලාහ්ට සිරස නමා වැඳ වැටෙයි.
