22. Sura al-Hajj [Pilgrimage], Medina 103


The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:



ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ...

22: 62. That is because Allah -- He is the Reality:

C2842. The emphatic construction calls attention to the fact that Allah is the only abiding Reality. All else is like shadows that will pass away.

...وَأَنَّ مَا يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ هُوَ الْبَاطِلُ...

and those besides Him whom they invoke -- they are but vain Falsehood:

...وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْكَبِيرُ ﴿٦٢﴾

verily Allah is He, Most High, Most Great.

C2843. See n. 2841 above.

Our vain imaginings, groundless doubts, foolish subtleties, and false worship should all give place to trust and faith in the one and only Reality.
