Word by word

قُلِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَسَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰ عِبَادِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱصْطَفَىٰٓ ۗ ءَآللَّهُ خَيْرٌ أَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

Say, [O Muḥammad], "Praise be to Allāh, and peace upon His servants whom He has chosen. Is Allāh better or what they associate with Him?"

قل -أيها الرسول-: الثناء والشكر لله، وسلام منه، وأَمَنَةٌ على عباده الذين تخيرهم لرسالته، ثم اسأل مشركي قومك هل الله الذي يملك النفع والضر خير أو الذي يشركون من دونه، ممن لا يملك لنفسه ولا لغيره نفعًا ولا ضرًا؟
