28. Al-Qasas, (The Story)

Mecca Period 49

The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:

وَهُوَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ...

28:70. And He is Allah:

there is no god but He.

...لَهُ الْحَمْدُ فِي الْأُولَى وَالْآخِرَةِ...

To him be praise, at the first and at the last:

...وَلَهُ الْحُكْمُ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ ﴿٧٠﴾

or Him is the Command, and to Him shall ye (all) be brought back.

Asad’s Version:

(28:70) for He is God, save whom there is no deity. Unto Him all praise is due, at the beginning and at the end [of time] ; 75 and with Him rests all judgment; and unto Him shall you all be brought back.

28:71 Say: "Have you ever considered [this]: If God had willed that there should always be night about you, without break, until the Day of Resurrection - is there any deity other than God that could bring you light? 76 Will you not, then, listen [to the truth]?"
