Surah 10. Yunus, Ayah 40
| وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ لَا يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ ۚ وَرَبُّكَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُفْسِدِينَ |
| Transliteration | : | wa- min -hum man yu'min bi- -hi wa- min -hum man laa yu'min bi- -hi wa- rabb -ka aclam bi- al- mufsiden |
| Pickthall | : | And of them is he who believeth therein, and of them is he who believeth not therein, and thy Lord is best aware of the corrupters. |
| Asad | : | And there are among them such as will in time come to believe in this [divine writ], just as there are among them such as will never believe in it;64 and thy Sustainer is fully aware as to who are the spreaders of corruption. |
| Malik | : | Of these people there are some who will believe in it and some will not: and your Rabb best knows the troublemakers. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Of them there are some who believe therein and some who do not: and thy Lord knoweth best those who are out for mischief. |
Note - 64The verb yu'minun, which occurs twice in this verse, can
be understood as connoting either the present tense -
"[such as] believe", resp. "[such as] do not believe" -
or the future tense. The future tense (adopted by me) is
the meaning unequivocally attributed to it by Tabari and
Ibn Kathir; some of the other authorities, like
Zamakhshari and Razi, prefer the present tense, but
nevertheless regard the other interpretation as
legitimate. (See also Mandr XI, 380.)
