ﱣAnd notﱤ(is) Muhammad ﱥexceptﱦa Messengerﱧcertainlyﱨpassed awayﱩfromﱪbefore himﱫﱬ[the] (other) MessengersﱭSo ifﱮhe diedﱯorﱰis slainﱱwill you turn backﱲonﱳﱴyour heelsﱵAnd whoeverﱶturns backﱷonﱸhis heelsﱹthen neverﱺwill he harmﱻAllahﱼﱽ(in) anythingﱾAnd will rewardﱿAllahﲀthe grateful onesﲁ
Muḥammad is no more than a messenger; other messengers have gone before him. If he were to die or to be killed, would you regress into disbelief? Those who do so will not harm Allah whatsoever. And Allah will reward those who are grateful.
