Quran 16:49 — An-Nahl, verse 49
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
It is to God that everything in the heavens and earth submits, every beast that moves, even the angels- they are free from arrogance:
وَلِلَّهِ يَسْجُدُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْ دَابَّةٍ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ وَهُمْ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ
walillahi yasjudu mā fī l-samāwāti wamā fī l-arḍi min dābbatin wal-malāikatu wahum lā yastakbirūna
