M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
Remember God’s blessing on you and the pledge with which you were bound when you said, ‘We hear and we obey.’ Be mindful of God: God has full knowledge of the secrets of the heart.
وَاذْكُرُوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَمِيثَاقَهُ الَّذِي وَاثَقَكُمْ بِهِ إِذْ قُلْتُمْ سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا ۖ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ
wa-udh'kurū niʿ'mata l-lahi ʿalaykum wamīthāqahu alladhī wāthaqakum bihi idh qul'tum samiʿ'nā wa-aṭaʿnā wa-ittaqū l-laha inna l-laha ʿalīmun bidhāti l-ṣudūri
