34.Surah Saba'

The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:


وَالَّذِينَ سَعَوْا فِي آيَاتِنَا مُعَاجِزِينَ أُوْلَئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مِّن رِّجْزٍ أَلِيمٌ ﴿٥﴾

34: 5. But those who strive against Our Signs, to frustrate them -- for such will be a Penalty -- a Punishment most humiliating.

C3792. Cf. 22:51.

Allah's Plan cannot be frustrated. It is those who work against it, who will be eliminated and destroyed.



Asad’s Version:




(34:5) whereas for those who strive against Our messages, seeking to defeat their purpose, there is grievous suffering in store as an outcome of [their] vileness. 4




[[ Asad’s note - 4 The particle min (lit., "out of) which precedes the noun rijz ("vileness" or "vile conduct") indicates that the suffering which awaits such sinners in the life to come is an organic consequence of their deliberately evil conduct in this world.]]
