ٱلْجُمُعَة : ٣

  • وَءَاخَرِينَ And others
  • مِنۡهُمۡ among them
  • لَمَّا who have not yet
  • يَلۡحَقُواْ joined
  • بِهِمۡۚ them
  • وَهُوَ and He
  • ٱلۡعَزِيزُ (is) the All-Mighty
  • ٱلۡحَكِيمُ the All-Wise
And [to] others of them who have not yet joined them. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
And [to] others (wa-aakhareena is a supplement to al-ummiyyeena, 'the unlettered'), that is to say, those who are alive, from among them, and [to] those of them who will come after them, who have not yet joined them, with regard to precedence and merit; and He is the Mighty, the Wise, in His kingdom and in His actions: those [mentioned as coming afterwards] are the Successors (al-taabi'oona); and it suffices to mention these [Successors] in order to illustrate the [greater] merit of the Companions, among whom the Prophet may peace and salutation be upon him was sent, over all those others, of humans and jinn, to whom he was [also] sent and who [believed and] will believe in him up until the Day of Resurrection, for every generation is better than the succeeding one.
