﴿ تَكَادُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِن فَوْقِهِنَّ ۚ وَٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ أَلَآ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ﴾
“The uppermost heavens are well-nigh rent asunder [for awe of Him]; and the angels extol their Sustainer’s limitless glory and praise, and ask forgiveness for all who are on earth. Oh, verily, God alone is truly-forgiving, a dispenser of grace!”
(Almost might the heavens above be rent asunder) from the awe of the Beneficent; and it is also said from the claim of the Jews, (while the angels) in heaven (hymn the praise of their Lord) pray by the command of their Lord (and ask forgiveness for those on the earth) for the sincere believers. (Lo! Allah is the Forgiver) He forgives he who repents, (the Merciful) towards he who dies repentant.
