Surah Sad — 38:66

رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْغَفَّـٰرُ

Rabbus samaawaati wal ardi wa maa bainahumal 'Azeezul Ghaffaar

Pan niebios i ziemi, i tego, co jest między nimi, Potężny, Przebaczający!"

Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them, the Mighty, the All-Forgiving.

Reflection

Two intensive name-pairs close two consecutive verses, and the second bends the first. Verse 65 ends on al-Wāhid al-Qahhār, the One who subdues; this one ends on al-ʿAzīz al-Ghaffār, where the same unanswerable power is what covers a fault over. Both endings fall inside a command to say it aloud, so the pairing works as an argument aimed at whoever is listening.
