Surah 4. An-Nisaa, Ayah 69
| وَمَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ وَالصَّالِحِينَ ۚ وَحَسُنَ أُولَٰئِكَ رَفِيقًا |
| Transliteration | : | wa- man yut.ic 'allaah wa- ar- rasol fa- 'olaa'ika maca 'alladhena ancama 'allaah calay -him min an- nabeyen wa- as.- s.iddeqen wa- ash- shuhadaa' wa- as.- s.aalih.en wa- h.asuna 'olaa'ika rafeq(an) |
| Pickthall | : | Whoso obeyeth Allah and the messenger, they are with those unto whom Allah hath shown favor, of the Prophets and the saints and the martyrs and the righteous. The best of company are they! |
| Asad | : | For, all who pay heed unto God and the Apostle shall be among those upon whom God has bestowed His blessings: the prophets, and those who never deviated from the truth, and those who [with their lives] bore witness to the truth, and the righteous ones: and how goodly a company are these! |
| Malik | : | Whosoever obeys Allah and the Rasool will be in the company of those whom Allah has blessed - the Prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous: What excellent companions they will be! |
| Yusuf Ali | : | All who obey Allah and the Apostle are in the company of those on whom is the Grace of Allah of the Prophets (who teach) the sincere (lovers of truth) the witnesses (who testify) and the righteous (who do good): ah! what a beautiful fellowship! 586 |
Note - 586A passage of the deepest devotional meaning. Even the
humblest man who accepts Faith and does good becomes an
accepted member of a great and beautiful company in the
Hereafter. It is a company which lives perpetually in the
sunshine of God's Grace. (This passage partly illustrates
Q. i. 5). It is a glorious hierarchy, of which four
grades are specified: (1) The highest is that of the
Prophets or Apostles, who get plenary inspiration from
God, and who teach mankind by example and precept. That
rank in Islam is held by Muhammand Al-Mustafa. (2) The
next are those whose badge is sincerity and truth: they
love and support the truth with their person, their
means, their influence, and all that is theirs. That rank
was held by the special Companions of Muhammad, among
whom the type was that of Hadhrat Abu Bakr As-Siddiq. (3)
The next are the noble army of Witnesses, who testify to
the truth. The testimony may be by martyrdom, Or it may
be by the tongue of the true Preacher or the pen of the
devoted scholar, or the life of the man devoted to
service, (4) Lastly, there is the large company of
Righteous people, the ordinary folk who do their ordinary
business, but always in a righteous Way.
