Surah Al-A'raf — 7:206

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهِۦ وَيُسَبِّحُونَهُۥ وَلَهُۥ يَسْجُدُونَ ۩

Innal lazeena 'inda Rabbika laa yastakbiroona 'an 'ibaadatihee wa yusabbihoonahoo wa lahoo yasjudoon

Zaprawdę, ci, którzy są u twego Pana, nie są tak pyszni, by Mu nie służyć; oni Go wysławiają i wybijają Mu pokłony!

Those who are with your Lord are never too proud to worship him; they glorify him, and to him they prostrate.

Reflection

Al-A'raf closes on beings who are already doing what the verse before it asks of the reader: remembrance in awe, worship carried without any sense of being above it. This is also the first place in the mushaf where a reciter prostrates, so the surah ends with the reader in the posture it has just described. Commentators gloss the nearness in ʿinda rabbika as one of standing.
