Surah 25. Al-Furqan, Ayah 31
| وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ عَدُوًّا مِنَ الْمُجْرِمِينَ ۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِرَبِّكَ هَادِيًا وَنَصِيرًا |
| Transliteration | : | wa- ka- dhaalika jacalnaa li- kull nabey cadow min al- mujrimen wa- kafaa bi- rabb -ka haadiy(an) wa- nas.er(an) |
| Pickthall | : | Even so have We appointed unto every Prophet an opportent from among the guilty; but Allah sufficeth for a Guide and Helper. |
| Asad | : | For so it is that against every prophet We have set up enemies from among those who are lost in sin:25 yet none can guide and give succour as thy Sustainer does! |
| Malik | : | That is how We made for every Rasool an enemy among the criminals, but your Rabb is sufficient for you (O Muhammad) as a Guide and Helper. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Thus have We made for every prophet an enemy among the sinners: but enough is thy Lord to guide and to help. 3087 |
Note - 25Cf. {6: 112}, which refers in very similar terms to the
evil forces (shayatin) against which every prophet has
had to contend. The "glittering half-truths meant to
delude the mind" spoken of in that verse are exemplified
in the present passage, prophetically, by the deceptive
argument that the Qur'an, having been enunciated fourteen
centuries ago, must now be considered "obsolete".

Note - 3087It is the nature of sin to be hostile to truth and
righteousness, but such hostility will not harm the
righteous and need cause no misgiving because Allah will
guide and help those who work in His cause. And what
could he better or more effective than His guidance and
help?
