Al-Buruj 85:12–16
The Forgiving, the Loving
إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ ١٢ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ ١٣ وَهُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلْوَدُودُ ١٤ ذُو ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْمَجِيدُ ١٥ فَعَّالٌۭ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ ١٦
The meaning, simply
Your Lord's punishment of His enemies is severe. He begins creation and brings it back again. He is the Forgiving to whoever repents, the Loving to those close to Him, Owner of the glorious Throne, doing whatever He wills.
