  21. مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ 

    مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ اَمِيۡنٍؕ‏ 

    Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy

  22. وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍ 

    وَمَا صَاحِبُكُمۡ بِمَجۡنُوۡنٍۚ‏ 

    And your companion is not [at all] mad

  23. وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْمُبِينِ 

    وَلَقَدۡ رَاٰهُ بِالۡاُفُقِ الۡمُبِيۡنِۚ‏

  24. وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ 

    وَمَا هُوَ عَلَي الۡغَيۡبِ بِضَنِيۡنٍۚ‏

    وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوۡلِ شَيۡطٰنٍ رَّجِيۡمٍۙ‏ 

    And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens]

  26. فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ 

    فَاَيۡنَ تَذۡهَبُوۡنَؕ‏ 

    So where are you going

    اِنۡ هُوَ اِلَّا ذِكۡرٌ لِّلۡعٰلَمِيۡنَۙ‏ 

    It is not except a reminder to the worlds

  28. لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ 

    لِمَنۡ شَآءَ مِنۡكُمۡ اَنۡ يَّسۡتَقِيۡمَؕ‏ 

    For whoever wills among you to take a right course

    وَمَا تَشَآءُوۡنَ اِلَّا٘ اَنۡ يَّشَآءَ اللّٰهُ رَبُّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَࣖ‏ 

    And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds
