13. Surah Ar Ra'd, Medina 96

The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:

كَذَلِكَ أَرْسَلْنَاكَ فِي أُمَّةٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِهَا أُمَمٌ...

13: 30.  Thus have We sent thee amongst a People before whom (long since) have (other) Peoples (gone and) passed away;

...لِّتَتْلُوَ عَلَيْهِمُ الَّذِيَ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ وَهُمْ يَكْفُرُونَ بِالرَّحْمَـنِ...

in order that thou mightest rehearse unto them what We send down unto thee by inspiration; yet do they reject (Him), the Most Gracious!

...قُلْ هُوَ رَبِّي لا إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ...

Say:

"He is my Lord!

There is no god but He!

...عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَإِلَيْهِ مَتَابِ ﴿٣٠﴾

On Him is my trust,

and to Him do I turn!"

Other Versions:

13: 30

Pickthall Thus We send thee (O Muhammad) unto a nation, before whom other nations have passed away, that thou mayst recite unto them that which We have inspired in thee, while they are disbelievers in the Beneficent. Say: He is my Lord; there is no God save Him. In Him do I put my trust and unto Him is my recourse.

Yuksel As such, We have sent you to a nation as other nations that have come before, so that you may recite for them what has been inspired to you; while they are still rejecting the Gracious. Say, "He is my Lord, there is no god but He, in Him I place my trust and to Him is my repentance."

===================================

Ali’s notes:

C1845. Our Prophet came later in time than other Prophets, to complete their Message and universalize Religion. And certainly it is after his age that the process of the unification of the world began. That process is not complete yet, but is proceeding apace.

C1846. Faith tells us that no amount of opposition from Unbelievers can ever stop Allah's Plan.
