(He inspired) those before thee.

To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth: and He
is Most High, Most Great.

and He is the High, the Great.
042.005
YUSUFALI:
The heavens are almost rent asunder from above them (by Him
Glory): and the angels celebrate the Praises of their Lord, and pray for
forgiveness for (all) beings on earth: Behold! Verily Allah is He, the
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
PICKTHAL:
Almost might the heavens above be rent asunder while the
angels hymn the praise of their Lord and ask forgiveness for those on the
earth. Lo! Allah, He is the Forgiver, the Merciful.
SHAKIR:
The heavens may almost rend asunder from above them and
the angels sing the praise of their Lord and ask forgiveness
for those on earth; now surely Allah is the Forgiving, the
Merciful.
042.006
YUSUFALI:
And those who take as protectors others besides Him,- Allah doth
watch over them; and thou art not the disposer of their affairs.
PICKTHAL:
And as for those who choose protecting friends beside Him,
Allah is Warden over them, and thou art in no wise a guardian over them.
SHAKIR:
And (as for) those who take guardians besides Him, Allah
watches over them, and you have not charge over them.
042.007
YUSUFALI:
Thus have We sent by inspiration to thee an Arabic Qur'an:
that thou mayest warn the Mother of Cities and all around her,- and warn
(them) of the Day of Assembly, of which there is no doubt: (when) some will
be in the Garden, and some in the Blazing Fire.
PICKTHAL:
And thus We have inspired in thee a Lecture in Arabic, that
thou mayst warn the mother-town and those around it, and mayst warn of a
day of assembling whereof there is no doubt. A host will be in the Garden,
and a host of them in the Flame.
SHAKIR:
And thus have We revealed to you an Arabic Quran, that
you may warn the mother city and those around it, and that
you may give warning of the day of gathering together
wherein is no doubt; a party shall be in the garden and
(another) party in the burning fire.
042.008
YUSUFALI:
If Allah had so willed, He could have made them a single people;
but He admits whom He will to His Mercy; and the Wrong-doers will have no
protector nor helper.
PICKTHAL:
Had Allah willed, He could have made them one community, but
Allah bringeth whom He will into His mercy. And the wrong-doers have no
friend nor helper.
SHAKIR:
And if Allah had pleased He would surely have made them a
single community, but He makes whom He pleases enter into
His mercy, and the unjust it is that shall have no guardian
or helper.
042.009
YUSUFALI:
What! Have they taken (for worship) protectors besides Him?
But it is Allah,- He is the Protector, and it is He Who gives life to the
dead: It is He Who has power over all things,
PICKTHAL:
Or have they chosen protecting friends besides Him? But Allah,
He (alone) is the Protecting Friend. He quickeneth the dead, and He is Able
to do all things.
SHAKIR:
Or have they taken guardians besides Him? But Allah is
the Guardian, and He gives life to the dead, and He has
power over all things.
042.010
YUSUFALI:
Whatever it be wherein ye differ, the decision thereof is with
Allah: such is Allah my Lord: In Him I trust, and to Him I turn.
PICKTHAL:
And in whatsoever ye differ, the verdict therein belongeth to
Allah. Such is my Lord, in Whom I put my trust, and unto Whom I turn.
SHAKIR:
And in whatever thing you disagree, the judgment thereof
is (in) Allah's (hand); that is Allah, my Lord, on Him do I
rely and to Him do I turn time after time.
042.011
YUSUFALI:
(He is) the Creator of the heavens and the earth: He has made
for you pairs from among yourselves, and pairs among cattle: by this means
does He multiply you: there is nothing whatever like unto Him, and He is
the One that hears and sees (all things).
PICKTHAL:
The Creator of the heavens and the earth. He hath made for you
pairs of yourselves, and of the cattle also pairs, whereby He multiplieth
you. Naught is as His likeness; and He is the Hearer, the Seer.
SHAKIR:
The Originator of the heavens and the earth; He made
mates for you from among yourselves, and mates of the cattle
too, multiplying you thereby; nothing like a likeness of
Him; and He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
042.012
YUSUFALI:
To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth: He
enlarges and restricts. The Sustenance to whom He will: for He knows full
well all things.
PICKTHAL:
His are the keys of the heavens and the earth. He enlargeth
providence for whom He will and straiteneth (it for whom He will). Lo! He
is Knower of all things.
SHAKIR:
His are the treasures of the heavens and the earth; He
makes ample and straitens the means of subsistence for whom
He pleases; surely He is Cognizant of all things.
042.013
YUSUFALI:
The same religion has He established for you as that which He
enjoined on Noah - the which We have sent by inspiration to thee - and that
which We enjoined on Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: Namely, that ye should
remain steadfast in religion, and make no divisions therein: to those who
worship other things than Allah, hard is the (way) to which thou callest
them. Allah chooses to Himself those whom He pleases, and guides to Himself
those who turn (to Him).
PICKTHAL:
He hath ordained for you that religion which He commended unto
Noah, and that which We inspire in thee (Muhammad), and that which We
commended unto Abraham and Moses and Jesus, saying: Establish the religion,
and be not divided therein. Dreadful for the idolaters is that unto which
thou callest them. Allah chooseth for Himself whom He will, and guideth
unto Himself him who turneth (toward Him).
SHAKIR:
He has made plain to you of the religion what He
enjoined upon Nuh and that which We have revealed to you and
that which We enjoined upon Ibrahim and Musa and Isa that
keep to obedience and be not divided therein; hard to the
unbelievers is that which you call them to; Allah chooses
for Himself whom He pleases, and guides to Himself him who
turns (to Him), frequently.
042.014
YUSUFALI:
And they became divided only after Knowledge reached them,-
through selfish envy as between themselves. Had it not been for a Word that
went forth before from thy Lord, (tending) to a Term appointed, the matter
would have been settled between them: But truly those who have inherited
the Book after them are in suspicious (disquieting) doubt concerning it.
PICKTHAL:
And they were not divided until after the knowledge came unto
them, through rivalry among themselves; and had it not been for a Word that
had already gone forth from thy Lord for an appointed term, it surely had
been judged between them. And those who were made to inherit the Scripture
after them are verily in hopeless doubt concerning it.
SHAKIR:
And they did not become divided until after knowledge
had come to them out of envy among themselves; and had not a
word gone forth from your Lord till an appointed term,
certainly judgment would have been given between them; and
those who were made to inherit the Book after them are most
surely in disquieting doubt concerning it.
042.015
YUSUFALI:
Now then, for that (reason), call (them to the Faith), and
stand steadfast as thou art commanded, nor follow thou their vain desires;
but say: "I believe in the Book which Allah has sent down; and I am commanded
to judge justly between you. Allah is our Lord and your Lord: for us (is the
responsibility for) our deeds, and for you for your deeds. There is no
contention between us and you. Allah will bring us together, and to Him is
(our) Final Goal.
PICKTHAL:
Unto this, then, summon (O Muhammad). And be thou upright as
thou art commanded, and follow not their lusts, but say: I believe in
whatever scripture Allah hath sent down, and I am commanded to be just
among you. Allah is our Lord and your Lord. Unto us our works and unto you
your works; no argument between us and you. Allah will bring us together,
and unto Him is the journeying.
SHAKIR:
To this then go on inviting, and go on steadfastly on
the right way as you are commanded, and do not follow their
low desires, and say: I believe in what Allah has revealed
of the Book, and I am commanded to do justice between you:
Allah is our Lord and your Lord; we shall have our deeds and
you shall have your deeds; no plea need there be (now)
between us and you: Allah will gather us together, and to
Him is the return.
042.016
YUSUFALI:
But those who dispute concerning Allah after He has been
accepted,- futile is their dispute in the Sight of their Lord: on them will
be a Penalty terrible.
PICKTHAL:
And those who argue concerning Allah after He hath been
acknowledged, their argument hath no weight with their Lord, and wrath is
upon them and theirs will be an awful doom.
SHAKIR:
And (as for) those who dispute about Allah after that
obedience has been rendered to Him, their plea is null with
their Lord, and upon them is wrath, and for them is severe
punishment.
042.017
YUSUFALI:
It is Allah Who has sent down the Book in Truth, and the Balance
(by which to weigh conduct). And what will make thee realise that perhaps
the Hour is close at hand?
PICKTHAL:
Allah it is Who hath revealed the Scripture with truth, and
the Balance. How canst thou know? It may be that the Hour is nigh.
SHAKIR:
Allah it is Who revealed the Book with truth, and the
balance, and what shall make you know that haply the hour be
nigh?
042.018
YUSUFALI:
Only those wish to hasten it who believe not in it: those who
believe hold it in awe, and know that it is the Truth. Behold, verily those
that dispute concerning the Hour are far astray.
PICKTHAL:
Those who believe not therein seek to hasten it, while those
who believe are fearful of it and know that it is the Truth. Are not they
who dispute, in doubt concerning the Hour, far astray?
SHAKIR:
Those who do not believe in it would hasten it on, and
those who believe are in fear from it, and they know that it
is the truth. Now most surely those who dispute obstinately
concerning the hour are in a great error.
042.019
YUSUFALI:
Gracious is Allah to His servants: He gives Sustenance to whom
He pleases: and He has power and can carry out His Will.
PICKTHAL:
Allah is gracious unto His slaves. He provideth for whom He
will. And He is the Strong, the Mighty.
SHAKIR:
Allah is Benignant to His servants; He gives sustenance
to whom He pleases, and He is the Strong, the Mighty.
042.020
YUSUFALI:
To any that desires the tilth of the Hereafter, We give
increase in his tilth, and to any that desires the tilth of this world, We
grant somewhat thereof, but he has no share or lot in the Hereafter.
PICKTHAL:
Whoso desireth the harvest of the Hereafter, We give him
increase in its harvest. And whoso desireth the harvest of the world, We
give him thereof, and he hath no portion in the Hereafter.
SHAKIR:
Whoever desires the gain of the hereafter, We will give
him more of that gain; and whoever desires the gain of this
world, We give him of it, and in the hereafter he has no
portion.
042.021
YUSUFALI:
What! have they partners (in godhead), who have established
for them some religion without the permission of Allah? Had it not been for
the Decree of Judgment, the matter would have been decided between them (at
once). But verily the Wrong-doers will have a grievous Penalty.
PICKTHAL:
Or have they partners (of Allah) who have made lawful for them
in religion that which Allah allowed not? And but for a decisive word (gone
forth already), it would have been judged between them. Lo! for wrong-doers
is a painful doom.
SHAKIR:
Or have they associates who have prescribed for them any
religion that Allah does not sanction? And were it not for
the word of judgment, decision would have certainly been
given between them; and surely the unjust shall have a
painful punishment.
042.022
YUSUFALI:
Thou wilt see the Wrong-doers in fear on account of what they
have earned, and (the burden of) that must (necessarily) fall on them. But
those who believe and work righteous deeds will be in the luxuriant meads
of the Gardens: they shall have, before their Lord, all that they wish for.
That will indeed be the magnificent Bounty (of Allah).
PICKTHAL:
Thou seest the wrong-doers fearful of that which they have
earned, and it will surely befall them, while those who believe and do good
works (will be) in flowering meadows of the Gardens, having what they wish
from their Lord. This is the great preferment.
SHAKIR:
You will see the unjust fearing on account of what they
have earned, and it must befall them; and those who believe
and do good shall be in the meadows of the gardens; they
shall have what they please with their Lord: that is the
great grace.
042.023
YUSUFALI:
That is (the Bounty) whereof Allah gives Glad Tidings to His
Servants who believe and do righteous deeds. Say: "No reward do I ask of
you for this except the love of those near of kin." And if any one earns
any good, We shall give him an increase of good in respect thereof: for Allah
is Oft-Forgiving, Most Ready to appreciate (service).
PICKTHAL:
This it is which Allah announceth unto His bondmen who believe
and do good works. Say (O Muhammad, unto mankind): I ask of you no fee
therefor, save lovingkindness among kinsfolk. And whoso scoreth a good deed
We add unto its good for him. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Responsive.
SHAKIR:
That is of which Allah gives the good news to His
servants, (to) those who believe and do good deeds. Say: I
do not ask of you any reward for it but love for my near
relatives; and whoever earns good, We give him more of good
therein; surely Allah is Forgiving, Grateful.
042.024
YUSUFALI:
What! Do they say, "He has forged a falsehood against Allah"?
But if Allah willed, He could seal up thy heart. And Allah blots out Vanity,
and proves the Truth by His Words. For He knows well the secrets of all
hearts.
PICKTHAL:
Or say they: He hath invented a lie concerning Allah? If Allah
willed, He could have sealed thy heart (against them). And Allah will wipe
out the lie and will vindicate the truth by His words. Lo! He is Aware of
what is hidden in the breasts (of men).
SHAKIR:
Or do they say: He has forged a lie against Allah? But
if Allah pleased, He would seal your heart; and Allah will
blot out the falsehood and confirm the truth with His words;
surely He is Cognizant of what is in the breasts.
042.025
YUSUFALI:
He is the One that accepts repentance from His Servants and
forgives sins: and He knows all that ye do.
PICKTHAL:
And He it is Who accepteth repentance from His bondmen, and
pardoneth the evil deeds, and knoweth what ye do,
SHAKIR:
And He it is Who accepts repentance from His servants
and pardons the evil deeds and He knows what you do;
042.026
YUSUFALI:
And He listens to those who believe and do deeds of
righteousness, and gives them increase of His Bounty: but for the
Unbelievers their is a terrible Penalty.
PICKTHAL:
And accepteth those who do good works, and giveth increase
unto them of His bounty. And as for disbelievers, theirs will be an awful
doom.
SHAKIR:
And He answers those who believe and do good deeds, and
gives them more out of His grace; and (as for) the
unbelievers, they shall have a severe punishment.
042.027
YUSUFALI:
If Allah were to enlarge the provision for His Servants, they
would indeed transgress beyond all bounds through the earth; but he sends
(it) down in due measure as He pleases. For He is with His Servants
Well-acquainted, Watchful.
PICKTHAL:
And if Allah were to enlarge the provision for His slaves they
would surely rebel in the earth, but He sendeth down by measure as He
willeth. Lo! He is Informed, a Seer of His bondmen.
SHAKIR:
And if Allah should amplify the provision for His
servants they would certainly revolt in the earth; but He
sends it down according to a measure as He pleases; surely
He is Aware of, Seeing, His servants.
042.028
YUSUFALI:
He is the One that sends down rain (even) after (men) have
given up all hope, and scatters His Mercy (far and wide). And He is the
Protector, Worthy of all Praise.
PICKTHAL:
And He it is Who sendeth down the saving rain after they have
despaired, and spreadeth out His mercy. He is the Protecting Friend, the
Praiseworthy.
SHAKIR:
And He it is Who sends down the rain after they have
despaired, and He unfolds His mercy; and He is the Guardian,
the Praised One.
042.029
YUSUFALI:
And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the
earth, and the living creatures that He has scattered through them: and He
has power to gather them together when He wills.
PICKTHAL:
And of His portents is the creation of the heaven and the
earth, and of whatever beasts He hath dispersed therein. And He is Able to
gather them when He will.
SHAKIR:
And one of His signs is the creation of the heavens and
the earth and what He has spread forth in both of them of
living beings; and when He pleases He is all-powerful to
gather them together.
042.030
YUSUFALI:
Whatever misfortune happens to you, is because on the things
your hands have wrought, and for many (of them) He grants forgiveness.
PICKTHAL:
Whatever of misfortune striketh you, it is what your right
hands have earned. And He forgiveth much.
SHAKIR:
And whatever affliction befalls you, it is on account of
what your hands have wrought, and (yet) He pardons most (of
your faults).
042.031
YUSUFALI:
Nor can ye frustrate (aught), (fleeing) through the earth; nor
have ye, besides Allah, any one to protect or to help.
PICKTHAL:
Ye cannot escape in the earth, for beside Allah ye have no
protecting friend nor any helper.
SHAKIR:
And you cannot escape in the earth, and you shall not
have a guardian or a helper besides Allah.
042.032
YUSUFALI:
And among His Signs are the ships, smooth-running through the
ocean, (tall) as mountains.
PICKTHAL:
And of His portents are the ships, like banners on the sea;
SHAKIR:
And among His signs are the ships in the sea like
mountains.
042.033
YUSUFALI:
If it be His Will He can still the Wind: then would they
become motionless on the back of the (ocean). Verily in this are Signs for
everyone who patiently perseveres and is grateful.
PICKTHAL:
If He will He calmeth the wind so that they keep still upon
its surface - Lo! herein verily are signs for every steadfast grateful
(heart). -
SHAKIR:
If He pleases, He causes the wind to become still so
that they lie motionless on its back; most surely there are
signs in this for every patient, grateful one,
042.034
YUSUFALI:
Or He can cause them to perish because of the (evil) which
(the men) have earned; but much doth He forgive.
PICKTHAL:
Or He causeth them to perish on account of that which they
have earned - And He forgiveth much -
SHAKIR:
Or He may make them founder for what they have earned,
and (even then) pardon most;
042.035
YUSUFALI:
But let those know, who dispute about Our Signs, that there is
for them no way of escape.
PICKTHAL:
And that those who argue concerning Our revelations may know
they have no refuge.
SHAKIR:
And (that) those who dispute about Our communications
may know; there is no place of refuge for them.
042.036
YUSUFALI:
Whatever ye are given (here) is (but) a convenience of this
life: but that which is with Allah is better and more lasting: (it is) for
those who believe and put their trust in their Lord:
PICKTHAL:
Now whatever ye have been given is but a passing comfort for
the life of the world, and that which Allah hath is better and more lasting
for those who believe and put their trust in their Lord,
SHAKIR:
So whatever thing you are given, that is only a
provision of this world's life, and what is with Allah is
better and more lasting for those who believe and rely on
their Lord.
042.037
YUSUFALI:
Those who avoid the greater crimes and shameful deeds, and,
when they are angry even then forgive;
PICKTHAL:
And those who shun the worst of sins and indecencies and, when
they are wroth, forgive,
SHAKIR:
And those who. shun the great sins and indecencies, and
whenever they are angry they forgive.
042.038
YUSUFALI:
Those who hearken to their Lord, and establish regular Prayer;
who (conduct) their affairs by mutual Consultation; who spend out of what
We bestow on them for Sustenance;
PICKTHAL:
And those who answer the call of their Lord and establish
worship, and whose affairs are a matter of counsel, and who spend of what
We have bestowed on them,
SHAKIR:
And those who respond to their Lord and keep up prayer,
and their rule is to take counsel among themselves, and who
spend out of what We have given them.
042.039
YUSUFALI:
And those who, when an oppressive wrong is inflicted on them,
(are not cowed but) help and defend themselves.
PICKTHAL:
And those who, when great wrong is done to them, defend
themselves,
SHAKIR:
And those who, when great wrong afflicts them, defend
themselves.
042.040
YUSUFALI:
The recompense for an injury is an injury equal thereto (in
degree): but if a person forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is
due from Allah: for (Allah) loveth not those who do wrong.
PICKTHAL:
The guerdon of an ill-deed is an ill the like thereof. But
whosoever pardoneth and amendeth, his wage is the affair of Allah. Lo! He
loveth not wrong-doers.
SHAKIR:
And the recompense of evil is punishment like it, but
whoever forgives and amends, he shall have his reward from
Allah; surely He does not love the unjust.
042.041
YUSUFALI:
But indeed if any do help and defend themselves after a wrong
(done) to them, against such there is no cause of blame.
PICKTHAL:
And whoso defendeth himself after he hath suffered wrong - for
such, there is no way (of blame) against them.
SHAKIR:
And whoever defends himself after his being oppressed,
these it is against whom there is no way (to blame).
042.042
YUSUFALI:
The blame is only against those who oppress men and
wrong-doing and insolently transgress beyond bounds through the land,
defying right and justice: for such there will be a penalty grievous.
PICKTHAL:
The way (of blame) is only against those who oppress mankind,
and wrongfully rebel in the earth. For such there is a painful doom.
SHAKIR:
The way (to blame) is only against those who oppress men
and revolt in the earth unjustly; these shall have a painful
punishment.
042.043
YUSUFALI:
But indeed if any show patience and forgive, that would truly
be an exercise of courageous will and resolution in the conduct of
affairs.
PICKTHAL:
And verily whoso is patient and forgiveth - lo! that, verily,
is (of) the steadfast heart of things.
SHAKIR:
And whoever is patient and forgiving, these most surely
are actions due to courage.
042.044
YUSUFALI:
For any whom Allah leaves astray, there is no protector
thereafter. And thou wilt see the Wrong-doers, when in sight of the
Penalty, Say: "Is there any way (to effect) a return?"
PICKTHAL:
He whom Allah sendeth astray, for him there is no protecting
friend after Him. And thou (Muhammad) wilt see the evil-doers when they see
the doom, (how) they say: Is there any way of return?
SHAKIR:
And whomsoever Allah makes err, he has no guardian after
Him; and you shall see the unjust, when they see the
punishment, saying: Is there any way to return?
042.045
YUSUFALI:
And thou wilt see them brought forward to the (Penalty), in a
humble frame of mind because of (their) disgrace, (and) looking with a
stealthy glance. And the Believers will say: "Those are indeed in loss, who
have given to perdition their own selves and those belonging to them on the
Day of Judgment. Behold! Truly the Wrong-doers are in a lasting Penalty!"
PICKTHAL:
And thou wilt see them exposed to (the Fire), made humble by
disgrace, and looking with veiled eyes. And those who believe will say: Lo!
the (eternal) losers are they who lose themselves and their housefolk on
the Day of Resurrection. Lo! are not the wrong-doers in perpetual torment?
SHAKIR:
And you shall see them brought before it humbling
themselves because of the abasements, looking with a faint
glance. And those who believe shall say: Surely the losers
are they who have lost themselves and their followers on the
resurrection day. Now surely the iniquitous shall remain in
lasting chastisement.
042.046
YUSUFALI:
And no protectors have they to help them, other than Allah. And
for any whom Allah leaves to stray, there is no way (to the Goal).
PICKTHAL:
And they will have no protecting friends to help them instead
of Allah. He whom Allah sendeth astray, for him there is no road.
SHAKIR:
And they shall have no friends to help them besides
Allah; and-- whomsoever Allah makes err, he shall have no way.
042.047
YUSUFALI:
Hearken ye to your Lord, before there come a Day which there
will be no putting back, because of (the Ordainment of) Allah! that Day there
will be for you no place of refuge nor will there be for you any room for
denial (of your sins)!
PICKTHAL:
Answer the call of your Lord before there cometh unto you from
Allah a Day which there is no averting. Ye have no refuge on that Day, nor
have a ye any (power of) refusal.
SHAKIR:
Hearken to your Lord before there comes the day from
Allah for which there shall be no averting; you shall have
no refuge on that day, nor shall it be yours to make a
denial.
042.048
YUSUFALI:
If then they run away, We have not sent thee as a guard over
them. Thy duty is but to convey (the Message). And truly, when We give man
a taste of a Mercy from Ourselves, he doth exult thereat, but when some ill
happens to him, on account of the deeds which his hands have sent forth,
truly then is man ungrateful!
PICKTHAL:
But if they are averse, We have not sent thee as a warder over
them. Thine is only to convey (the message). And lo! when We cause man to
taste of mercy from Us he exulteth therefor. And if some evil striketh them
because of that which their own hands have sent before, then lo! man is an
ingrate.
SHAKIR:
But if they turn aside, We have not sent you as a
watcher over them; on you is only to deliver (the message);
and surely when We make man taste mercy from Us, he rejoices
thereat; and if an evil afflicts them on account of what
their hands have already done, then-surely man is
ungrateful.
042.049
YUSUFALI:
To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. He
creates what He wills (and plans). He bestows (children) male or female
according to His Will (and Plan),
PICKTHAL:
Unto Allah belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the
earth. He createth what He will. He bestoweth female (offspring) upon whom
He will, and bestoweth male (offspring) upon whom He will;
SHAKIR:
Allah's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; He
creates what He pleases; He grants to whom He pleases
daughters and grants to whom He pleases sons.
042.050
YUSUFALI:
Or He bestows both males and females, and He leaves barren
whom He will: for He is full of Knowledge and Power.
PICKTHAL:
Or He mingleth them, males and females, and He maketh barren
whom He will. Lo! He is Knower, Powerful.
SHAKIR:
Or He makes them of both sorts, male and female; and He
makes whom He pleases barren; surely He is the Knowing, the
Powerful.

YUSUFALI:
It is not fitting for a man that Allah should speak to him
except by inspiration, or from behind a veil, or by the sending of a
messenger to reveal, with Allah's permission, what Allah wills: for He is Most
High, Most Wise.
PICKTHAL:
And it was not (vouchsafed) to any mortal that Allah should
speak to him unless (it be) by revelation or from behind a veil, or (that)
He sendeth a messenger to reveal what He will by His leave. Lo! He is
Exalted, Wise.
SHAKIR:
And it is not for any mortal that Allah should speak to
them, they could not bear to hear and they did not see.

YUSUFALI:
And thus have We, by Our Command, sent inspiration to thee:
thou knewest not (before) what was Revelation, and what was Faith; but We
have made the (Qur'an) a Light, wherewith We guide such of Our servants as
We will; and verily thou dost guide (men) to the Straight Way,-
PICKTHAL:
And thus have We inspired in thee (Muhammad) a Spirit of Our
command. Thou knewest not what the Scripture was, nor what the Faith. But
We have made it a light whereby We guide whom We will of Our bondmen. And
lo! thou verily dost guide unto a right path,
SHAKIR:
And thus did We reveal to you an inspired book by Our
command. You did not know what the Book was, nor (what) the
faith (was), but We made it a light, guiding thereby whom We
please of Our servants; and most surely you show the way to
the right path:

YUSUFALI:
The Way of Allah, to Whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and
whatever is on earth. Behold (how) all affairs tend towards Allah!
PICKTHAL:
The path of Allah, unto Whom belongeth whatsoever is in the
heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. Do not all things reach Allah at
last?
SHAKIR:
The path of Allah, Whose is whatsoever is in the heavens
and whatsoever is in the earth; now surely to Allah do all
affairs eventually come.
