Surah 40. Al-Mu'min, Ayah 68
| هُوَ الَّذِي يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ ۖ فَإِذَا قَضَىٰ أَمْرًا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ |
| Transliteration | : | huwa 'alladhe yuh.ye wa- yumet fa- 'idhaa qad.aa 'amr(an) fa- 'inna-maa yaqol la- -hu kun fa- yakon |
| Pickthall | : | He it is who quickeneth and giveth death. When He ordaineth a thing, He saith unto it only: Be! and it is. |
| Asad | : | It is He who grants life and deals death; and when He wills a thing to be, He but says unto it, "Be" - and it is. |
| Malik | : | It is He Who gives you life and causes you to die. It is He Who when He decides to do something, needs only to say: "Be," and it is. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | It is He Who gives Life and Death; and when He decides upon an affair He says to it "Be" and it is. 4445 |
Note - 4445The keys of life and death are in Allah's hands. But He
is not dependent on time or place or instruments or
materials. All that He has to do is to say "Be", and it
comes into existence. Cf. xvi. 40, and n. 2066; xxxvi.
82, and n. 4029. Conversely, His Will or Command is
sufficient to annihilate Existence into Non-Existence
(Life into Death) or determine the limits or conditions
of Existence or Non-Existence.
