obedient unto Him.

S: And His is whosoever is in the heavens and the earth; all are
obedient to Him.

Y: It is He Who begins (the process of) creation; then repeats it; and
for Him it is most easy. To Him belongs the loftiest similitude (we can
think of) in the heavens and the earth: for He is Exalted in Might,
full of Wisdom.

P: He it is Who produceth creation, then reproduceth it, and it is
easier for Him. His is the Sublime Similitude in the heavens and the
earth. He is the Mighty, the Wise.

S: And He it is Who originates the creation, then reproduces it, and it
is easy to Him; and His are the most exalted attributes in the heavens
and the earth, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.

as you fear each other? Thus do We make the communications distinct for
a people who understand.

there will be no helpers.

P: Nay, but those who do wrong follow their own lusts without knowledge.
Who is able to guide him whom Allah hath sent astray? For such there
are no helpers.

S: Nay! those who are unjust follow their low desires without any
knowledge; so who can guide him whom Allah makes err? And they shall
have no helpers.

Y: So set thou thy face steadily and truly to the Faith: (establish)
Allah's handiwork according to the pattern on which He has made
mankind: no change (let there be) in the work (wrought) by Allah: that
