We surely know those of you who go forward and those of you who lag behind.
And indeed We know those among you who came forward and indeed We know those among you who remained behind.
We know the ones of you who press forward, and We know the laggards;
And well do We know [the hearts and deeds of all human beings - both] those who lived before you and those who will come after you;
And assuredly We know those of you who have gone before and those who will come hereafter.
And indeed, We know the first generations of you who had passed away, and indeed, We know the present generations of you (mankind), and also those who will come afterwards.
And We know those of you who go forward, and We know those who lag behind.
Surely We know those of you who have passed before and those who will come later.
And indeed, We know the first generations of you who have passed away, and indeed, We know the present generations of you (mankind), and also those who will come afterwards.
And verily We know the eager among you and verily We know the laggards.
Certainly We know the predecessors among you and certainly We know the successors,
We know those of you who press forward, and We know the laggards,
And We have already known the preceding [generations] among you, and We have already known the later [ones to come].
We know the people who lived before you and those who will come into existence after you.
And certainly We know those of you who have gone before and We certainly know those who shall come later.
