Surely those who live in awe of their Lord,
Indeed those who are overwhelmed due to the fear of their Lord –
Surely those who tremble in fear of their Lord
Verily, [only] they who stand in reverent awe of their Sustainer,
Verily those who for fear of their Lord are in awe.
Verily! Those who live in awe for fear of their Lord;
Those who, from awe of their Lord, are fearful.
Surely those who stand in awe for fear of their Lord,
Verily, those who live in awe for fear of their Lord;
Lo! those who go in awe for fear of their Lord.
Indeed those who are apprehensive for the fear of their Lord,
Those who tremble in fear of their Lord,
Indeed, they who are apprehensive from fear of their Lord
Only those who are, out of fear of Him, humble before their Lord,
Surely they who from fear of their Lord are cautious,
Inna alla<u>th</u>eena hum min khashyati rabbihim mushfiqoon<b>a</b>
Those who tremble with fear of their Lord;
Verily those who live in awe for fear of their Lord;
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ خَشْيَةِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ
Indeed, those who, despite their belief and good, are fearful of their Lord.
Indeed, those who, despite their belief and good, are fearful of their Lord.
