Surah 22. Al-Hajj, Ayah 8
| وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يُجَادِلُ فِي اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَلَا هُدًى وَلَا كِتَابٍ مُنِيرٍ |
| Asad | : | And yet, among men there is many a one that argues about God without having any knowledge [of Him], without any guidance, and without any light-giving revelation - |
| Malik | : | Yet there are others among people who wrangle about Allah, though they neither have knowledge nor guidance, nor an enlightening Book, |
| Pickthall | : | And among mankind is he who disputeth concerning Allah without knowledge or guidance or a Scripture giving light. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Yet there is among men such a one as disputes about Allah without knowledge without guidance and without a Book of Enlightenment 2779 |
| Transliteration | : | wa- min an- naas man yujaadil fe 'allaah bi- ghayr cilm wa- laa huda(n) wa- laa kitaab muner |
Note - 2779For "Book of Enlightenment" see iii. 184 and n. 490. I
understand "knowledge" to mean here their human knowledge
or intelligence, "guidance" to mean divine guidance, such
as comes from Allah or prophets of Allah or a revelation
from Allah, and the "Book of Enlightenment" to mean the
fundamental guide to good conduct, the clear rules laid
down in all Dispensations to help men to lead good lives.
The "Book of Enlightenment" may mean a revealed Book in
which case "Guidance" would refer to divine guidance
through a prophet of Allah.
