Surah 29. Al-Ankabut, Ayah 69
| وَالَّذِينَ جَاهَدُوا فِينَا لَنَهْدِيَنَّهُمْ سُبُلَنَا ۚ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمَعَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ |
| Transliteration | : | wa- 'alladhena jaahado fe -naa la- nahdiyanna -hum subul -naa wa- 'inna 'allaah la- maca al- muh.sinen |
| Pickthall | : | As for those who strive in Us, We surely guide them to Our paths, and lo! Allah is with the good. |
| Asad | : | But as for those who strive hard in Our cause-We shall most certainly guide them onto paths that lead unto Us:61 for, behold, God is indeed with the doers of good. |
| Malik | : | As for those who strive in Our cause, We will surely guide them to Our ways; rest assured that Allah is with the righteous. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | And those who strive in Our (Cause) We will certainly guide them to Our Paths: for verily Allah is with those who do right. 3502 3503 |
Note - 61Lit., "Our paths". The plural used here is obviously
meant to stress the fact - alluded to often in the Qur'an
- that there are many paths which lead to a cognizance
(ma'rifah) of God.

Note - 3502"Strive in Our Cause." All that man can do is to strive
in Allah's Cause. As soon as he strives with might and
main, with constancy and determination, the Light and
Mercy of Allah come to meet him. They cure his defects
and shortcomings. They provide him with the means by
which he can raise himself above himself. They point out
the Way, and all the Paths leading up to it. See next
note.
|
Note - 3503The Way of Allah (sirat-ul-Mustaqim) is a Straight Way.
But men have strayed from it in all directions. And there
are numerous Paths by which they can get back to the
Right Way, the way in which the purity of their own
nature, and the Will and Mercy of Allah require them to
Walk. All these numerous Paths become open to them if
once they give their hearts in keeping to Allah and work
in right Endeavour (Jihad) with all their mind and soul
and resources. Thus will they get out of the Spider's web
of this frail world and attain to eternal Bliss in the
fulfillment of their true Destiny.
