Surah 42. Ash-Shura, Ayah 19
| اللَّهُ لَطِيفٌ بِعِبَادِهِ يَرْزُقُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ ۖ وَهُوَ الْقَوِيُّ الْعَزِيزُ |
| Transliteration | : | 'allaah lat.ef bi- cibaad -hi yarzuq man yashaa' wa- huwa al- qawey al- cazez |
| Pickthall | : | Allah is gracious unto His slaves. He provideth for whom He will. And He is the Strong, the Mighty. |
| Asad | : | GOD is most kind unto His creatures: He provides sustenance for whomever He wills - for He alone is powerful, almighty! |
| Malik | : | Allah is very Kind to His servants. He gives sustenance to whom He pleases. He is the Powerful, the Almighty." |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Gracious is Allah to His servants: He gives Sustenance to whom He pleases: and He has Power and can carry out His Will. 4552 4553 4554 |
Note - 4552Latif: so kind, gracious, and understanding, as to bestow
gifts finely suited to the needs of the recipients. For
the various meanings of Latif, see n. 2844 to xxii. 63.
Cf. also xii. 100.

Note - 4553"Servants" here seems to include all men, just and
unjust, for Allah provides for them all.
|
Note - 4554Sustenance, i.e., provision for all needs. "To whom He
pleases" is not restrictive, but modal. 'Allah provides
for all, but His provision is according to His wise Will
and Plan, and not according to people's extravagant
demands.' He can provide for all, because He has complete
power and can carry out His Will. A further comment will
be found in the next verse.
