Surah 5. Al-Maida, Ayah 109
| ۞ يَوْمَ يَجْمَعُ اللَّهُ الرُّسُلَ فَيَقُولُ مَاذَا أُجِبْتُمْ ۖ قَالُوا لَا عِلْمَ لَنَا ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ |

| Pickthall | : | In the day when Allah gathereth together the messengers, and saith: What was your response (from mankind)? they say: We have no knowledge. Lo! Thou, only Thou art the Knower of Things Hidden. |
| Asad | : | ON THE DAY when God shall assemble all the apostles and shall ask, "What response did you receive?" - they will answer, "We have no knowledge; verily, it is Thou alone who fully knowest all the things that are beyond the reach of a created being's perception."130 |
| Malik | : | On the Day of Resurrection when Allah gathers the Rasools and asks: "What response were you given from your addressees?" They will say: "We have no knowledge, only You have all the knowledge of the unseen." |
| Yusuf Ali | : | One day will Allah gather the apostles together and ask: "What was the response ye received (from men to your teaching)? They will say: "We have no knowledge: it is thou who knowest in full all that is hidden. 814 |
Note - 130Cf. verse {99} above: "No more is the Apostle bound to do
than deliver the message" - for, neither can he force
people to follow the right path, nor can he know what is
in their hearts. (See also {4:41-42}.)
|
Note - 814A scene of the Day of Reckoning is put before us in
graphic words, showing the responsibility and the
limitations of the Prophets of Allah, sent to preach His
Message to men, with special reference to the Message of
Jesus. The Messengers are sent to preach the Truth. What
fantastic forms the Message takes in men's reactions to
it was beyond their knowledge, at the time, and beyond
their responsibility.
