3. Sura al-Imran

The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:

شَهِدَ اللّهُ أَنَّهُ لاَ إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ وَالْمَلاَئِكَةُ وَأُوْلُواْ الْعِلْمِ قَآئِمَاً بِالْقِسْطِ...

3: 18. There is no god but He: that is the witness of Allah, His angels, and those endued with knowledge, standing firm on justice.

C358. Allah Himself speaks to us through His revelations (through angels) and through His Creation, for all Nature glorifies Allah.

No thinking mind, if it only judges the matter fairly, can fail to find the same witness in his own heart and conscience.

All this points to the Unity of Allah, His exalted nature, and His wisdom.

...لاَ إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ ﴿١٨﴾

There is no god but He, the Exalted in Power, the Wise.

3: 18 [al-i-Imran, Medina 89 ]

Yusuf Ali There is no god but He: that is the witness of Allah His angels and those endued with knowledge standing firm on justice. There is no god but He the Exalted in Power the Wise.

Pickthall Allah (Himself) is witness that there is no God save Him. And the angels and the men of learning (too are witness). Maintaining His creation in justice, there is no God save Him, the Almighty, the Wise.
