Surah 71. Nuh, Ayah 20
| لِتَسْلُكُوا مِنْهَا سُبُلًا فِجَاجًا |
| Transliteration | : | li- tasluko min -haa subul(an) fijaaj(an) |
| Pickthall | : | That ye may thread the valley ways thereof. |
| Asad | : | so that you might walk thereon on spacious paths.'"12 |
| Malik | : | so that you may walk in its spacious paths." |
| Yusuf Ali | : | "`That ye may go about therein in spacious roads.' " 5719 |
Note - 12I.e., "He has provided you with all facilities for a good
life on earth" - the unspoken implication being, "Will
you not, then, acknowledge Him and be grateful to Him?"
|
Note - 5719Fijaj implies valley-roads or passes between mountains.
Though there are mountain chains on the earth, Allah's
artistry has provided even in such regions, valleys and
channels by which men may go about. Mountain roads
usually follow the valleys. A) Sinners always resent it
as a reproach that righteous men should speak to them for
their own good. They prefer smooth flatterers, and they
worship power even though the depositaries of power are
selfish men, who neither profit themselves nor profit
others by the wealth and man-power that they collect
round themselves. They forget that mere material things
may be a delusion and a snare unless the moral and
spiritual factor behind them sanctifies them.
