Fatir 35:41

Word by word

۞ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُمْسِكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ أَن تَزُولَا ۚ وَلَئِن زَالَتَآ إِنْ أَمْسَكَهُمَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِّنۢ بَعْدِهِۦٓ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورًا

Indeed, Allāh holds the heavens and the earth, lest they cease. And if they should cease, no one could hold them [in place] after Him. Indeed, He is Forbearing and Forgiving.

إن الله يمسك السماوات والأرض أن تزولا عن مكانهما، ولئن زالت السماوات والأرض عن مكانهما ما يمسكهما من أحد من بعده. إن الله كان حليمًا في تأخير العقوبة عن الكافرين والعصاة، غفورًا لمن تاب من ذنبه ورجع إليه.
