Surah 76. Ad-Dahr, Ayah 28
| نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَاهُمْ وَشَدَدْنَا أَسْرَهُمْ ۖ وَإِذَا شِئْنَا بَدَّلْنَا أَمْثَالَهُمْ تَبْدِيلًا |
| Asad | : | [They will not admit to themselves that] it is We who have created them and strengthened their make26 - and [that], if it be Our will, We can replace them entirely with others of their kind.27 |
| Malik | : | It is We Who created them and made their joints strong; but if We please We can replace them with others like them through a change. |
| Pickthall | : | We, even We, created them, and strengthened their frame. And when We will, We can replace them, bringing others like them in their stead. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | It is We Who created them and We have made their joints strong; but when We will We can substitute the like of them by a complete change. 5859 5860 |
| Transliteration | : | Nahnu khalaqnahum washadadna asrahum waitha shina baddalna amthalahum tabdeelan |
Note - 261.e., endowed their bodies and minds with the ability to
enjoy "this fleeting life".
|
Note - 27I.e., with other human beings who would have the same
powers of body and mind, but would put them to better
use.
|
Note - 5859Allah has not only created men, but 'made their frame
strong", i.e., given them the power and strength to
withstand the temptations of Evil and stand firmly in the
Path of Right,
|
Note - 5860If, in spite of Allah's loving care, any particular men
or group of men, misuse their powers or wilfully disobey
Allah's Law, Allah will set them aside, and substitute
others in their place, with like powers. Allah's gifts
are free, but let no one think that he can monopolise
them or misuse them without being called to answer for
the trust. And the man of Allah must not be discouraged
by the whole world being at some moment completely
against him. Allah can in a moment make a complete
change. Either the same men that fought against him will
be his zealous adherents, Or another generation will
spring up, which will carry the flag of Righteousness to
victory. Allah's Will and Plan work in their own good
time.
