Surah 10. Yunus, Ayah 25
| وَاللَّهُ يَدْعُو إِلَىٰ دَارِ السَّلَامِ وَيَهْدِي مَنْ يَشَاءُ إِلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ |
| Transliteration | : | wa- 'allaah yadco 'ilaa daar as- salaam wa- yahde man yashaa' 'ilaa s.iraat. mustaqem |
| Pickthall | : | And Allah summoneth to the abode of peace, and leadeth whom He will to a straight path. |
| Asad | : | AND [know that] God invites [man] unto the abode of peace, and guides him that wills [to be guided] onto a straight way.40 |
| Malik | : | Allah invites you to the Home of Peace and guides whom He pleases to the Right Way. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | But Allah doth call to the Home of Peace: He doth guide whom He pleaseth to a way that is straight. 1413 |
Note - 40Or: "guides whom He wills onto a straight way". As
regards the expression salam, rendered here and in many
other places as "peace" and elsewhere as "salvation", see
surah {5}, note [29]. It is obvious that the term afar
as-salam ("abode of peace") denotes not only the
condition of ultimate happiness in the hereafter -
alluded to in the allegory of paradise - but also the
spiritual condition of a true believer in this world:
namely, a state of inner security, of peace with God,
with one's natural environment, and within oneself.
|
Note - 1413In contrast with the ephemeral and uncertain pleasures of
this material life, there is a higher life to which Allah
is always calling. It is called the Home of Peace. For
there is no fear, nor disappointment nor sorrow there.
And all are called, and those will be chosen who have
sought, not material advantages, but the Good Pleasure of
Allah. Salam, Peace, is from the same root as Islam, the
Religion of Unity and Harmony.
