Purpose of God’s Messages is to Expose the Sinners


6. Sura al-Anam

The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:



وَكَذَلِكَ نفَصِّلُ الآيَاتِ وَلِتَسْتَبِينَ سَبِيلُ الْمُجْرِمِينَ ﴿٥٥﴾

6: 55. Thus do We explain the Signs in detail: that the way of the sinners may be shown up.

C875. If the way of the sinners (in jealousy and worldly pride) is shown up, and details are given how to honour the truly sincere, it forms the best illustration of the teaching of Allah.


Other versions:

6: 55

Asad ….so that the path of those who are lost in sin might be distinct [from that of the righteous].


Pickthall Thus do We expound the revelations that the way of the unrighteous may be manifest.
