And it is He Who has made you generations coming after generations, replacing each other on the earth. And He has raised you in ranks, some above others that He may try you in that which He has bestowed on you. Surely your Lord is Swift in retribution, and certainly He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Naye ndiye aliye kufanyeni makhalifa wa duniani, na amewanyanyua baadhi yenu juu ya wengine daraja kubwa kubwa, ili akujaribuni kwa hayo aliyo kupeni. Hakika Mola Mlezi wako ni Mwepesi wa kuadhibu, na hakika Yeye ni Mwenye kusamehe, Mwenye kurehemu.
