ٱلَّذِينَ يَحْمِلُونَ ٱلْعَرْشَ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَيُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا رَبَّنَا وَسِعْتَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ رَّحْمَةً وَعِلْمًا فَٱغْفِرْ لِلَّذِينَ تَابُوا وَٱتَّبَعُوا سَبِيلَكَ وَقِهِمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

"Those [angels] who carry the Throne and those around it exalt [Allāh] with praise of their Lord and believe in Him and ask forgiveness for those who have believed, [saying], "Our Lord, You have encompassed all things in mercy and knowledge, so forgive those who have repented and followed Your way and protect them from the punishment of Hellfire."

عرش کے اٹھانے والے اور اسکے آس پاس کے (فرشتے) اپنے رب کی تسبیح حمد کے ساتھ ساتھ کرتے ہیں اور اس پر ایمان رکھتے ہیں اور ایمان والوں کے لیے استفغار کرتے ہیں، کہتے ہیں کہ اے ہمارے پروردگار! تو نے ہر چیز کو اپنی بخشش اور علم سے گھیر رکھا ہے، پس تو انہیں بخش دے جو توبہ کریں اور تیری راه کی پیروی کریں اور تو انہیں دوزخ کے عذاب سے بھی بچا لے.

Explanation

The subjects of God who set themselves the task of preaching the pure and unadulterated Truth are always harassed. They are made to feel lowly and small and treated as such wherever they may be. But, at the very time when this treatment is being meted out to them, the heavens and the earth are bearing testimony to their righteousness. The angels who have been charged with managing the affairs of the universe, will look forward to their ultimate glorious reward. Those who were looked down upon by the ignorant in this ephemeral world will be raised to such an exalted position that the angels nearest to God will pray for them.
