Sura-41 [Fussilat Mecca 61 ]


The Quranic Text & Ali’s version:



مَا يُقَالُ لَكَ إِلَّا مَا قَدْ قِيلَ لِلرُّسُلِ مِن قَبْلِكَ...

41:43. Nothing is said to thee that was not said to the messengers before thee:

C4515. The gist of Allah's Message, now, before, and for ever, is the same: Mercy to the erring and repentant; just punishment to those who willfully rebel against Allah.

...إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُو مَغْفِرَةٍ وَذُو عِقَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ﴿٤٣﴾

That thy Lord has at His command (all) Forgiveness as well as a most Grievous Penalty.


Asad’s Version:



41:43 [And as for thee, O Prophet,] nothing is being said to thee but what was said to all [of God's) apostles before thy time." Behold, thy Sustainer is indeed full of forgiveness - but He has also the power to requite most grievously!
