The Holy Quran 21:28 — Surah Al-Anbya

Arabic text

يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يَشْفَعُونَ إِلَّا لِمَنِ ٱرْتَضَىٰ وَهُم مِّنْ خَشْيَتِهِۦ مُشْفِقُونَ

Translation

He knows what is before them and what is behind them (He knows everything they do) and only the one with whom He is pleased will be able to intercede (on behalf of anyone on the Day of Qiyaamah). (In fact) They tremble with fear for Him.

Therefore these servants who are brought near, understanding this reality, keep constant watch over their states, so that none of them should be contrary to His pleasure.
