30.Surah Ar-Rum (The Byzantines)

Mecca Period [6-7 years before Hijra]

The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:

وَلَهُ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ...

30: 26. To Him belongs every being that is in the heavens and on earth:

...كُلٌّ لَّهُ قَانِتُونَ ﴿٢٦﴾

all are devoutly obedient to Him.

C3532. All nature in Creation not only obeys Allah, but devoutly obeys Him, i.e., glories in its privilege of service and obedience.

Asad’s Version:

30:26 For, unto Him belongs every being that is in the heavens and on earth; all things devoutly obey His will.

(30:27) And He it is who creates [all life] in the first instance, and then brings it forth anew: 18 and most easy is this for Him, since His is the essence of all that is most sublime in the heavens and on earth, 19 and He alone is almighty, truly wise.
