Sura -11 [Hud mecca 52]


The Quranic Text & Ali’s version:



إِنِّي تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللّهِ رَبِّي وَرَبِّكُم...   

11:56.  "I put my trust in Allah, my Lord and your Lord!

...مَّا مِن دَآبَّةٍ إِلاَّ هُوَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا...

There is not a moving creature, but He hath grasp of its forelock.

C1551. Grasp of the fore-lock; an Arabic idiom, referring to a horse's fore-lock.

The man who grasps it has complete power over the horse, and for the horse the fore-lock is as it were the crown of his beauty, the sum of his power of self-assertion. So Allah's power over all creatures is unlimited and no one can withstand His decree.

Cf. 96:15-16.

...إِنَّ رَبِّي عَلَى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ ﴿٥٦﴾

Verily, it is my Lord that is on a Straight Path.

C1552. That is, the standard of all virtue and righteousness is in the Will of Allah, the Universal Will that controls all things in goodness and justice.

You are on a crooked Path. Allah's Path is a straight Path.


Asad’s Version:


11: 56

Asad Behold, I have placed my trust in God, my Sustainer as well as your Sustainer: for there is no living creature which He does not hold by its forelock. Verily, straight is my Sustainer’s way!

Yusuf Ali "I put my trust in Allah my Lord and your Lord! There is not a moving creature but He hath grasp of its forelock. Verily it is my Lord that is on a Straight Path.

Pickthall Lo! I have put my trust in Allah, my Lord and your Lord. Not an animal but He doth grasp it by the forelock! Lo! my Lord is on a straight path.


Yuksel "I have put my trust in God, my Lord and your Lord. There is not a creature except He will seize it by its frontal lobe. My Lord is on a Straight Path."
