يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اعْبُدُواْ رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ
[2:21]
O men! serve your Lord Who created you and those before you so that you may guard (against evil).
O ye people! Adore your Guardian-Lord, who created you and those who came before you, that ye may have the chance to learn righteousness;
O mankind! worship your Lord, Who hath created you and those before you, so that ye may ward off (evil).
