Sura -17 [Al-Israa, Mecca 50]


The Quranic Text & Ali’s version:



وَقُلْ جَاء الْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ الْبَاطِلُ...   

17:81.  And say:

"Truth has (now) arrived, and Falsehood perished:

...إِنَّ الْبَاطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوقًا ﴿٨١﴾

for Falsehood is (by its nature) bound to perish."

C2281. From its nature falsehood must perish, for it is the opposite of Truth, and Truth must ever prevail.


Transliteration Wa qul ja_'al haqqu wa zahaqal ba_til(u), innal ba_tila ka_na zahu_qa_(n).


Asad’s Version:


And say: "The truth has now come [to light], and falsehood has withered away: for, behold, all falsehood is bound to wither away!"


Pickthall’s version


And say: Truth hath come and falsehood hath vanished away. Lo! falsehood is ever bound to vanish.
