By the arrangers in ranks.
2
By the forces that repel.
3
By the memory which follows.
4
Your god is indeed One.
5
The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and what lies between them, and Lord of the easts.

7
To guard against every rebellious devil.

Why do you not support one another?
26

29
They replied: No, it was you who were not those who acknowledge.
30
We never had any power over you, but you were a wicked people.
