Surah 27. An-Naml, Ayah 59
| قُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَسَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ عِبَادِهِ الَّذِينَ اصْطَفَىٰ ۗ آللَّهُ خَيْرٌ أَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ |
| Transliteration | : | qul al- h.amd li- 'allaah wa- salaam calaa cibaad -hi 'alladhena is.t.afaa 'a- 'allaah khayr 'am maa yushrikon |
| Pickthall | : | Say (O Muhammad): Praise be to Allah, and peace be on His slaves whom He hath chosen! Is Allah best, or (all) that ye ascribe as partners (unto Him)? |
| Asad | : | SAY: "All praise is due to God, and peace be upon those servants of His whom He chose [to be His message-bearers]!" Is not God far better than anything to which men [falsely] ascribe a share in His divinity?54 |
| Malik | : | Say: "Praise be to Allah and peace be on His servants whom He has chosen to deliver His message. Ask them: " Who is better? Allah or the deities they associate with Him?" |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Say: Praise be to Allah and Peace on His servants whom He has chosen (for his Message). (Who) is better? Allah or the false gods they associate with Him? 3292 |
Note - 54Lit., "Is God better, or that to which they ascribe. .
.", etc.: thus including, by implication, not only
deified beings or forces of nature, but also false social
and moral values to which custom and ancestral tradition
have lent an almost "religious" sanction.

Note - 3292Allah's revelation having been described as Light,
Guidance, and Mercy, we ought all to be grateful to Allah
for vouchsafing His revelation. We ought also to
appreciate the services of Allah's Messengers, who are
chosen to deliver Ms Message: we ought to send
salutations of Peace on them, instead of plotting, as the
wicked do, for their removal or persecution, or
banishment or death. For these Prophets of Allah undergo
every kind of hardship and forego every kind of advantage
or pleasure in life for serving mankind. And Allah is
truth and goodness, and all our fancies of false worship
are falsehoods and evils. Shall we prefer falsehood and
evil to truth and goodness?
