The Cow · Medinan

فَهَزَمُوهُم بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِ وَقَتَلَ دَاوُۥدُ جَالُوتَ وَءَاتَىٰهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡمُلۡكَ وَٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ وَعَلَّمَهُۥ مِمَّا يَشَآءُۗ وَلَوۡلَا دَفۡعُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلنَّاسَ بَعۡضَهُم بِبَعۡضٖ لَّفَسَدَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ذُو فَضۡلٍ عَلَى ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

Arabic (Uthmani Script)

So they defeated them by permission of Allah, and David killed Goliath, and Allah gave him the kingship and prophethood and taught him from that which He willed. And if it were not for Allah checking [some] people by means of others, the earth would have been corrupted, but Allah is full of bounty to the worlds

Script Comparison

Compare Arabic readings — Uthmani, Warsh, Simple (Imla'i)

Note: Verse numbering varies between qira'at (reading traditions). In Warsh, the Basmalah is not counted as a verse — so verse numbers are offset by 1 from Hafs (Uthmani) in surahs where Basmalah is the first verse. Gold-underlined words differ from the Uthmani baseline. Enable Align by content to show the corresponding text regardless of verse number.
