Surah 36. Ya-Sin, Ayah 22
| وَمَا لِيَ لَا أَعْبُدُ الَّذِي فَطَرَنِي وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ |
| Transliteration | : | wa- maa li- -y laa acbud 'alladhe fat.ara -ne wa- 'ilay -hi turjacon |
| Pickthall | : | For what cause should I not serve Him Who hath created me, and unto Whom ye will be brought back? |
| Asad | : | "[As for me,] why should I not worship Him who has brought me into being, and to whom you all will be brought back? |
| Malik | : | It would not be justifiable on my part if I do not worship Him Who has created me and to Whom you shall be brought back. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | "It would not be reasonable in me if I did not serve Him Who created me and to Whom ye shall (all) be brought back. 3968 |
Note - 3968The argument throughout is that of intense personal
conviction for the individual himself, coupled with an
appeal to his people to follow that conviction and get
the benefit of the spiritual satisfaction which he has
himself achieved. He says in effect: 'how is it possible
for me to do otherwise than to serve and adore my Maker?
I shall return to Him, and so will you, and all this
applies to you as much as to me.' Note how effective is
the transition from the personal experience to the
collective appeal.
