Surah 20. Ta-ha, Ayah 135
| قُلْ كُلٌّ مُتَرَبِّصٌ فَتَرَبَّصُوا ۖ فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ أَصْحَابُ الصِّرَاطِ السَّوِيِّ وَمَنِ اهْتَدَىٰ |
| Transliteration | : | qul kull mutarabbis. fa- tarabbas.o fa- sa- taclamon man as.h.aab as.- s.iraat. as- sawey wa- man ihtadaa |
| Pickthall | : | Say: Each is awaiting; so await ye! Ye will come to know who are the owners of the path of equity, and who is right. |
| Asad | : | Say: "Everyone is hopefully waiting [for what the future may bring]:122 wait, then, [for the Day of Judgment - ] for then you will come to know as to who has followed the even path, and who has found guidance!" |
| Malik | : | Say: "All are waiting: so wait if you will. Very soon you shall find out, who is following the Right Way and who has been rightly guided." |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Say: "Each one (of us) is waiting: wait ye therefore and soon shall ye know who it is that is on the straight and even way and who it is that has received guidance." 2660 2661 |
Note - 122I.e., human nature is such that no man, whatever his
persuasion or condition, can ever cease to hope that the
way of life chosen by him will prove to have been the
right way.

Note - 2660If people will not be true to their own lights, what
further argument is left? The Prophet of Allah can only
say: "Let us wait the issue: my faith tells me that
Allah's Truth must prevail." Cf. ix. 52.
|
Note - 2661Cf. xix. 43. The straight and even Way must endure, and
show that the man who follows it has received true
guidance. All falsehood and crookedness must ultimately
disappear.
