Surah 13. Ar-Ra'd, Ayah 26
| اللَّهُ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ وَيَقْدِرُ ۚ وَفَرِحُوا بِالْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا مَتَاعٌ |
| Transliteration | : | 'allaah yabsut. ar- rizq li- man yashaa' wa- yaqdir wa- farih.o bi- al- h.ayaah ad- dunyaa wa- maa al- h.ayaah ad- dunyaa fe al- 'aakhirah 'illaa mataac |
| Pickthall | : | Allah enlargeth livelihood for whom He will, and straiteneth (it for whom He will); and they rejoice in the life of the world, whereas the life of the world is but brief comfort as compared with the Hereafter. |
| Asad | : | GOD GRANTS abundant sustenance, or gives it in scant measure, unto whomever He wills; and they [who are given abundance] rejoice in the life of this world - even though, as compared with the life to come, the life of this world is nought but a fleeting pleasure. |
| Malik | : | Allah grants abundantly His provisions to whom He will and sparingly to whom He pleases. The unbelievers rejoice in the life of this world: but brief indeed is the comfort of this worldly life as compared to the life of the hereafter. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Allah doth enlarge or grant by (strict) measure the Sustenance (which He giveth) to whom so He pleaseth. (The worldly) rejoice in the life of this world: but the life of this world is but little comfort in the Hereafter. 1840 1841 |
Note - 1840Allah, the Sustainer and Cherisher of all His creatures,
gives sustenance to all. To some He grants it in
abundance; to others He gives it in strict measure. No
one can question Him, for His Will is supreme, and it is
the measure of all good.
|
Note - 1841Cf. ix. 38. The meaning here may also be: This present
life is just a furniture, a convenience, a stepping
stone, a probation, for the life to come. In itself it is
less important than the Hereafter.
