53. Sura al-Najm

The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:

وَأَنَّ إِلَى رَبِّكَ الْمُنتَهَى ﴿٤٢﴾

53: 42.  That to thy Lord is the final Goal;

C5115. The fourth, fifth, and sixth aphorisms are that

• all things return to Allah;

• that all our hope should be in Him;

• and we should fear none but Him: and that He alone can give Life and Death.

Asad’s Version:

(53:42) and that with thy Sustainer is the beginning and the end [of all that exists]; 34

Yuksel’s Version:

53:41 Then he will be paid fully for such works.

53:42 To your Lord is the final destiny.

[[Asad’s note - 34 Lit., "the utmost limit" or "goal", circumscribing the beginning and the end of the universe both in time and in space, as well as the source from which everything proceeds and to which everything must return. ]]
