Surah 11. Hud, Ayah 6
| ۞ وَمَا مِنْ دَابَّةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا عَلَى اللَّهِ رِزْقُهَا وَيَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَا ۚ كُلٌّ فِي كِتَابٍ مُبِينٍ |
| Asad | : | And there is no living creature on earth but depends for its sustenance on God; and He knows its time-limit [on earth] and its resting-place [after death]:9 all [this] is laid down in [His] clear decree. |
| Malik | : | There is no moving creature on Earth whose sustenance is not provided by Allah. He knows its living and its resting place, and all that is recorded in a glorious Book. |
| Pickthall | : | And there is not a beast in the earth but the sustenance thereof dependeth on Allah. He knoweth its habitation and its repository. All is in a clear record. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | There is no moving creature on earth but its sustenance dependeth on Allah: He knoweth the time and place of its temporary deposit: all is in a clear Record. 1498 1499 1500 |
| Transliteration | : | wa- maa min daabbah fe al- 'ard. 'illaa calaa 'allaah rizq -haa wa- yaclam mustaqarr -haa wa- mustawdac -haa kull fe kitaab muben |
Note - 9For this rendering of mustaqarr and mustawda', see note
[83] on 6:98. The above reference to God's
all-embracing knowledge connects with the end of the
preceding verse ("He has full knowledge of all that is in
the hearts of men").
|
Note - 1498Cf. vi. 59. Nothing happens in Creation except by the
Word of Allah and with the knowledge of Allah. Not a leaf
stirs but by His Will. Its maintenance in every sense is
dependent on His Will.
|
Note - 1499Mustaqarr = definite abode; where a thing stops or stays
for some time, where it is established. Mustauda = where
a thing is laid up or deposited for a little while.
Referring to animals, the former denotes its life on this
earth; the latter its temporary pre-natal existence in
the egg or the womb and its after-death existence in the
tomb or whatever state it is in until its resurrection.
|
Note - 1500Cf. vi. 59 and n. 880, and x. 61 and n. 1450.
