Surah 15. Al-Hijr, Ayah 86
| إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الْخَلَّاقُ الْعَلِيمُ |
| Transliteration | : | 'inna rabb -ka huwa al- khallaaq al- calem |
| Pickthall | : | Lo! Thy Lord! He is the All Wise Creator. |
| Asad | : | verily, thy Sustainer is the all-knowing Creator of all things!61 |
| Malik | : | Surely your Rabb is the All-Knowing Creator. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | For verily it is thy Lord Who is the Master-Creator knowing all things. 2007 |
Note - 61I.e., "He has created all human beings with full
knowledge of their natural differentiation and the
disparity in their respective conditions" (Razi) - and
this, of course, includes their failings and errors. (Cf.
7:199 - "Make due allowance for man's nature" - and the
corresponding note [162].)
|
Note - 2007Khallaq: the emphatic intensive form, as meaning the
Creator, Who is perfect in His skill and knowledge, and
Whose creation answers perfectly to His design. Therefore
no one should think that anything has gone wrong in
Allah's creation. What may seem out of joint is merely
the result of our short-sighted standards. It often
happens that what appears to us to be evil or imperfect
or unjust is a reflection of our own imperfect minds. See
the next two verses and notes.
