رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْغَفَّـٰرُ
Rabbu a l ssam a w a ti wa a lar d i wam a baynahum a alAAazeezu alghaff a r u
the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, the Almighty, the All-Forgiving!"
  - Mohammad Asad
the Rabb of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them, the Almighty, the Forgiver."
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
'He is the' Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything in between- the Almighty, Most Forgiving.'
  - Mustafa Khattab
Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, the Mighty, the Pardoning.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
"The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all between Exalted in Might Able to enforce His will forgiving again and again." 4220 4221
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Gaffar is the emphatic intensive form, and I have accordingly translated it as "forgiving again and again". Cf. xx. 82.

In n. 2818 to xxii. 40, I have explained the full import of 'Aziz as a title applied to Allah, and I have expressed two of the leading ideas involved, in the two lines here. The argument in this Sura turns upon the contrast between earthly Power and the Divine Power: the one is impotent and the other is supreme.
