268 GENERAL KNOWLEDGE FROM THE QUR'AN

Lord, delighting in the favour Allah has bestowed on them, rejoicing
over those they left behind who have not yet joined them, feeling no
fear and knowing no sorrow, rejoicing in blessings and favour from
Allah and that Allah does not let the wage of the believers go to waste.
