- ʔalam tara ʔilā llaḏīna ḵarajū min diyārihim wahum ʔulūfun ḥaḏara l-mawti faqāla lahumu l-lahu mūtū ṯumma ʔaḥyāhum ʔinna l-laha laḏū faḍlin ʕalā n-nāsi walākinna ʔakṯara n-nāsi lā yaškurūna
- Have you not considered those who left their homes in many thousands, fearing death? Allah said to them, "Die"; then He restored them to life. And Allah is full of bounty to the people, but most of the people do not show gratitude.
