هُمْ خَيْرُ مَنْ خَلَقَ الْإِلَهُ وَمَنْظَرُ

They are the best of those God has created and the best to behold.

وَحَكَتْ قِصَصَ مَنْ؟ قِصَصَ أَصْفِيَاءِ اللهِ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ وَأَحْسَنِ الْبَشَرِ

And whose stories did it tell? The stories of God's chosen ones from His creation and the best of mankind.

قَصَصْنَا عَلَيْكُمْ قَصَصَهُمْ بَيْنَ عُسْرٍ وَيُسْرٍ

We have narrated their stories to you between hardship and ease.

بَيْنَ فَرَحِهِمْ وَحُزْنِهِمْ

Between their joy and their sorrow.

بَيْنَ ضَعْفِهِمْ مِنْ قِبَلِ قَوْمِهِمْ وَقُوَّتِهِمْ باللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ

Between their weakness at the hands of their people and their strength through God Almighty.

لَحَظَاتِ انْتِصَارِهِمْ عَلَى أَقْوَامِهِمْ

The moments of their victory over their peoples.

وَلَحَظَاتِ إِيذَاءِ أَقْوَامِهِمْ لَهُمْ

And the moments of their peoples' persecution of them.

دَعْوَتُهُمْ بَسَطْنَاهَا لَكُمْ

We have laid out their call for you.

وَعِشْنَا وَإِيَّاكُمْ أَجْمَلَ اللَّحَظَاتِ

And we lived with you the most beautiful moments.

عَلَى أَنْ نَسْتَمِرَّ مَعَكُمْ مَعَ قِصَصِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ

With the intention to continue with you through the stories of the prophets.
