Surah 51. Az-Zariyat, Ayah 23
| فَوَرَبِّ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ إِنَّهُ لَحَقٌّ مِثْلَ مَا أَنَّكُمْ تَنْطِقُونَ |
| Transliteration | : | fa- wa- rabb as- samaa' wa- al- 'ard. 'inna -hu la- h.aqq mithl maa 'anna -kum tant.iqon |
| Pickthall | : | And by the Lord of the heavens and the earth, it is the truth, even as (it is true) that ye speak. |
| Asad | : | for, by the Sustainer of heaven and earth, this [life after death] is the very truth - as true as that you are endowed with speech!15 |
| Malik | : | I swear by the Rabb of heaven and earth that this is true, as certain as you are speaking now! |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Then by the Lord of heaven and earth this is the very Truth as much as the fact that ye can speak intelligently to each other. 5004 |
Note - 15Lit., "even as you speak" or "are able to speak": an
allusion to man's ability to think conceptually and to
express himself - that is, to something of which man is
absolutely, axiomatically conscious.
|
Note - 5004Attention having been called to the Signs or Evidences of
Allah's working on the earth, within ourselves, and in
the heavens, in verses 20-22, an appeal is made to our
own inner conscience, in the name of the Lord of heaven
and earth, to acknowledge and act up to the truth of
Revelation, and turn to the spiritual Realities. For they
are as real as our own conscious and self-intelligent
existence, on which is based all our knowledge. As a
philosopher (Descartes) has said: "I think; therefore I
am."
