Surah 24. An-Nur, Ayah 46
| لَقَدْ أَنْزَلْنَا آيَاتٍ مُبَيِّنَاتٍ ۚ وَاللَّهُ يَهْدِي مَنْ يَشَاءُ إِلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ |
| Transliteration | : | la- qad anzalnaa 'aayaat mubayyinaat wa- 'allaah yahde man yashaa' 'ilaa s.iraat. mustaqem |
| Pickthall | : | Verily We have sent down revelations and explained them. Allah guideth whom He will unto a straight path. |
| Asad | : | INDEED. from on high have We bestowed messages clearly showing the truth; but God guides onto a straight way [only] him that wills [to be guided].64 |
| Malik | : | We have indeed sent down revelations demonstrating the Truth, and Allah guides to the Straight Way whom He pleases. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | We have indeed sent down Signs that make things manifest: and Allah guides whom He wills to a way that is straight. |
Note - 64Or: "God guides whomever He wills onto a straight way".
The rendering adopted by me in this instance seems
preferable in view of the preceding, intensive stress on
the evidence, forthcoming from all nature, of God's
creative, planning activity and the appeal to "all who
have eyes to see" to let themselves be guided by this
overwhelming evidence.
