ٱلْقَلَم : ٤٨

  • فَٱصۡبِرۡ So be patient
  • لِحُكۡمِ for (the) decision
  • رَبِّكَ (of) your Lord
  • وَلَا and (do) not
  • تَكُن be
  • كَصَاحِبِ like (the) companion
  • ٱلۡحُوتِ (of) the fish
  • إِذۡ when
  • نَادَىٰ he called out
  • وَهُوَ while he
  • مَكۡظُومٞ (was) distressed
Then be patient for the decision of your Lord, [O Muḥammad], and be not like the companion of the fish [i.e., Jonah] when he called out while he was distressed.
So await patiently the judgement of your Lord, regarding them in the way that He wills, and do not be like the one of the whale, in terms of impatience and haste - this is Jonah, peace be upon him - who called out, [who] supplicated his Lord, choking with grief, filled with anguish inside the belly of the whale.
