وَكَذٰلِكَ اَوْحَيْنَٓا اِلَيْكَ قُرْاٰناً عَرَبِياًّ لِتُنْذِرَ اُمَّ الْقُرٰى وَمَنْ حَوْلَهَا وَتُنْذِرَ يَوْمَ الْجَمْعِ لَا رَيْبَ ف۪يهِۜ فَر۪يقٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَفَر۪يقٌ فِي السَّع۪يرِ

Wakathalika awhaynailayka qur-anan AAarabiyyan litunthira omma alqurawaman hawlaha watunthira yawma aljamAAi larayba feehi fareequn fee aljannati wafareequn fee assaAAeer

And thus We have revealed to thee an Arabic recitation, that thou warn the mother of cities and whoso is around her, and thou warn of the Day of Gathering whereof there is no doubt: a faction will be in the Garden, and a faction in the Inferno.
