Surah 17. Al-Israa, Ayah 44
| تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ السَّمَاوَاتُ السَّبْعُ وَالْأَرْضُ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ ۚ وَإِنْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِهِ وَلَٰكِنْ لَا تَفْقَهُونَ تَسْبِيحَهُمْ ۗ إِنَّهُ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورًا |
| Transliteration | : | tusabbih. la- -hu as- samaawaat as- sabc wa- al- 'ard. wa- man fe -hinna wa- 'in min shay' 'illaa yusabbih. bi- h.amd -hi wa- laakin laa tafqahon tasbeh. -hum 'inna -hu kaana h.alem(an) ghafor(an) |
| Pickthall | : | The seven heavens and the earth and all that is therein praise Him, and there is not a thing but hymneth his praise; but ye understand not their praise. Lo! He is ever Clement, Forgiving. |
| Asad | : | The seven heavens52 extol His limitless glory, and the earth, and all that they contain; and there is not a single thing but extols His limitless glory and praise: but you [O men] fail to grasp the manner of their glorifying Him!53 Verily, He is forbearing, much-forgiving! |
| Malik | : | The seven heavens, the earth and all beings therein declare His glory. There is not a single thing but glorifies Him with His praise, but you do not understand their hymns of His glory. The fact is that He is very Forbearing, Forgiving. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | The seven heavens and the earth and all beings therein declare His glory: there not a thing but celebrates His praise; and yet ye understand not how they declare His glory! Verily He is Oft- Forbearing Most Forgiving! 2229 |

Note - 53I.e., although everything in creation bears witness to
the existence of a conscious Creative Will, man is only
too often blind and deaf to this overwhelming evidence of
God's ever-present almightiness.
|
Note - 2229All Creation, animate and inanimate, sings Allah's
praises and celebrates His glory,-animate, with
consciousness, and inanimate, in the evidence which it
furnishes of the unity and glory of Allah. All Nature
bears witness to His power, wisdom, and goodness. It is
only "ye", i.e., those who reject the whole trend of your
nature and deny Faith simply because ye have been given a
limited amount of choice and free-will,-it is only such
as "ye" that understand not what every other creature
understands and proclaims with joy and pride. What must
be your degradation! And yet Allah bears with you and
forgives you! Such is His goodness!
