AND
[the angels say]: "We do not descend [with revelation], again
and again, other than by
thy
Sustainer's command: unto Him belongs all that lies open before us
and all that is hidden -
from
us and all that is in-between." And never does thy Sustainer
forget [anything] –
(19:65)
the
Sustainer of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them!
Worship, then, Him
alone,
and remain steadfast in His worship! Dost thou know any whose name is
worthy to be
mentioned
side by side with His?" mentioned side by side with His?"

Surah Maryam
The
Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:
وَمَا نَتَنَزَّلُ
إِلَّا بِأَمْرِ
رَبِّكَ...
19:
64. (The
angels say):
"We
descend not but by command of thy Lord:
C2514. We
are apt to be impatient of the evils we see around us. We may give of
our best service to Allah, and yet see no results. In our human
short-sightedness we may complain within ourselves. But we must not
be impatient.
The
angels of Grace come not haphazard, but by command of Allah according
to His Universal Will and Purpose. Allah does not forget. If things
are delayed, it is in accordance with a wise providence, which cares
for all. Our plain duty is to be patient and constant in His
service. (R).
...لَهُ
مَا بَيْنَ
أَيْدِينَا
وَمَا خَلْفَنَا
وَمَا بَيْنَ
ذَلِكَ...
to
Him belongeth what is before us, and what is behind us, and what is
between:
...وَمَا
كَانَ رَبُّكَ
نَسِيًّا ﴿٦٤﴾
and
thy Lord never doth forget" --
رَبُّ
السَّمَاوَاتِ
وَالْأَرْضِ
وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا...
19:
65. "Lord of the heavens and of the earth, and of all
that is between them:
...فَاعْبُدْهُ
وَاصْطَبِرْ
لِعِبَادَتِهِ ...
so
worship Him, and be constant and patient in His worship:
...هَلْ
تَعْلَمُ لَهُ
سَمِيًّا ﴿٦٥﴾
knowest
thou of any who is worthy of the same Name as He?"
C2515. The
more we taste of the truth and mystery of life, the more do we
realise that there is no one to be mentioned in the same breath as
Allah.
He
is above all names. But when we think of His beautiful qualities, and
picture them to ourselves by names which give us some idea of Him, we
can search the whole wide world of our imagination, and we shall not
find another to be compared with Him in name or quality.
He
is the One: praise be to Him!
وَيَقُولُ
الْإِنسَانُ
أَئِذَا مَا
مِتُّ لَسَوْفَ
أُخْرَجُ حَيًّا ﴿٦٦﴾
19:
66. Man says: "What! when I am dead, shall I then be
raised up alive?"
أَوَلَا
يَذْكُرُ الْإِنسَانُ
أَنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُ
مِن قَبْلُ
وَلَمْ يَكُ
شَيْئًا ﴿٦٧﴾
19:
67. But does not man call to mind that We created him
before out of nothing?
